What's the point of a firewall? :) A firewall is there to stop everything you don't want coming in or going out... You're now specifying something that you *do* want; it's just a matter of selecting something appropriate, and making sure you know who's accessing it and when. - Jeff -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://lazarus.aphid.net/ -- Is Murphy's Law constitutional?
Re: Firewall and remote access?
It's possible if both the local and the remote have a static IP. Our secure servers have ssh firewalled to accept only a single IP address, so the only way in is through that IP address, which is usually an unused server or the office IP address. You should also be sure that whatever has the second IP address is also a reasonably secure server. - Original Message - From: "Matt Fair" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Tuesday, March 20, 2001 4:03 PM Subject: Firewall and remote access? > Is it possible to have a secure way to access a computer behind a firewall > remotely? > Or would this destroy the whole point of the firewall? > Thanks, > Matt > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Firewall and remote access?
Is it possible to have a secure way to access a computer behind a firewall remotely? Or would this destroy the whole point of the firewall? Thanks, Matt
Firewall and remote access?
Is it possible to have a secure way to access a computer behind a firewall remotely? Or would this destroy the whole point of the firewall? Thanks, Matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
