I don't use this on any network anymore as running firewall software on a
server at the point of entry is like playing russian roulette with 5
bullets. I have Netscreens installed on everything from ISDN to T1's.
Having 602 + ZA will keep most out. It's not perfect but most people/
companies using a proxy + dial up won't have the expertise or need to have a
Linux box.

Personally I work with SonicWALL, Raptor (now Symantec's product), and
Cisco. I also know quite a bit about personal firewalls as well so if
anyone needs some information - let me know. Not just on a sales level which
I have just moved into but truley on an information based level.

Marc,
I have ZA Pro. I purchased it after I had been using the free version for
about 6 months. Well did I make
a mistake. I will not do so again, I am going to set up a firewall either
hardware or Linux. You are correct
they do not block specific ports. A good friend of mine and I have beat our
heads against the wall trying
to get it to do speicific things. He did figure it out.
It has the WORSE upgrades of any software that I know of. Make a mistake on
the install and TRY to do
so again. FORGET IT. You need to wipe the box clean...
Steve: run away from ZA. Get a linux ipchains (old Name) and use it. It
can be installed on an
old 486 without to many problems. Or go buy a firewall like sonicwall or
the like.
Again do not use ZA to protect your network. It is not going to help.
Steven
