re: Sharing internet through Citrix (or better solution) in isolated network?

["Hamid . K" <h.kashfi () yahoo com>]

Hi Ali, 

thanks for your replay .
Answer looks fine but I`ve few question about anonymous account :

What if a session is infected by malware ?
will it cause whole server infection ? 
if for example a malware is installed in running session , will it
 affect other "anonymous" users ?
Will malware/infection be cleaned up , after next login ? ( something
 like a restore-point in VMware )

while keeping your advice for a short time deployment , 
I`m looking for a long-term solution , every user have his own
 customized settings , like 
boomarks , stored cookies ,etc...   . And isolating users as much as
 possible. for example
if a user mess his session with visiting a malware site , other users
 stay safe . 



best regards
Hamid,kashfi

The best way I have found so far:

Publish IE/Firefox on Citrix, and use "Anoymous Citrix users
accounts". Clean Anonymous user space after logoff.

This works very well, if you don't need to track your internal user's
activity on the internet i.e. you trust your internal users.
