Ivan,

You are correct in that the VPN3015 does not currently have a stateful 
firewall.  It does support access control lists.

At this time there is no way to get through a VPN30xx concentrator other 
than using one of the VPN clients.  To date there have been no compromises 
of that platform.

I would suggest you look at installing the VPN3015 concentrator on a 
perimeter network off your existing firewall.  That way the 3015 can be 
accessed by VPN clients on the Internet via it's own public IP 
address.  Any attempts to get through the concentrator would need to pass 
through the firewall, so you can enforce policy on anything that comes 
through the concentrator.

Liberty for All,

Brian
