Hi all,

I am in need of some suggestions for some privacy conscious email
providers. I am currently using Migadu email hosting from Switzerland,
basically they allow their users to have as many domains and mailboxes
without storage limits without extra cost.

However they only allow 10 messages to be sent per day on their free 
tier.

Re: how statefull firewall works for udp?

2011-01-21 Thread Laurens Vets

Hello,


Default configuration for statefull firewall is to allow traffic form
TRUST ZONE to UNTRUST ZONE.

As I Know those device will use some feilds in the TCP Header.

But, how the firewall will handle this policy for none TCP traffics
(udp, icmp, and IPsec)?

I think understanding this will help me in the designing.

Re: Finding content in your job title

2010-03-31 Thread Laurens Vets

This is perhaps a rather silly question, but one that I'd like to have
answered.

I'm young in the game, and over the years I've imagined numerous job
titles that should go on my business card. They went from cool, to
high-priority, to plain unimaginable.

Now, after 10 years, I reflect back on what I've done, and what I do
now. To me, if a business is loose-knit with no clear job descriptions
or titles (ie. too small to have CXO etc), I feel that a business card
should reflect what one feels is the primary job responsibility, or what
they do the most (or love the most).

For instance, I like to present myself as a 'network engineer'. I have
never taken formal education, don't hold any certifications (well, since
2001), and can't necessarily prove my worth.

How does the ops community feel about using this designation? Is it
intrusive or offensive to those who hold real engineering degrees? I'm
content with 'network manager', given that I still do perform (in my
sleep) numerous system tasks and have to sometimes deal with front-line
helpdesk stuff.

Instead of acting like I'm trying to sell myself out, I'll leave out
what I actually do and ask those who sig themselves with 'network
engineer' what they do day-to-day to acquire that title, and if they
feel comfortable with having it.



When the University I worked for went all touchy-feely and told us to
pick titles for ourselves I wanted to use Savant.

They wouldn't let me, so I tried Jack Of All Trades.

Vetoed.

So I just stayed with the cards I had that said Associate Director for
Telecommunications and Computers.

Which is about as void of meaning then and now as anything I have ever
heard of.


I actually held the title Super Security Engineer at my previous 
company according to my business cards.  Now that I think of it, I need 
new business cards, any ideas? :)

There is also the fact to consider that Cisco has said there will be no
support for Windows 64-bit on their IPSEC client, they are pushing
people to the AnyConnect (An SSL-based clientless IPSEC) who want to use
Windows 64-bit or other OSs, so in the future the argument for having a
separate box for client-based IPSEC will be moot.


You can also use the Shrew Soft VPN Client.  Comes in various flavors 
including 64-bit.

Toivo,

The SA Series absolutely supports IPsec if you are using Network
Connect.  It defaults to using IPsec and if that is not supported then
it will fall back to SSL.  Of course, NC is not as secure as W-SAM,
J-SAM, or Core Access in terms of role and resource granularity control
but the support for IPsec is absolutely there.

HTHs.

We're generally happy with our Juniper SA6500s, but they, and a lot of
the other SSL VPN vendor appliances will not support IPSec. Cisco's ASA
does, but it's less feature-rich in the SSL VPN arena. The Juniper was
the most mature and flexible of all the offerings we looked at, but also
the most expensive, and it's not perfect either.

Having migrated from Cisco's 3000 series appliances, the current SSL
VPNs are a totally different mindset and about two orders of magnitude
more complicated. Have a very good understanding of exactly what problem
you're trying to solve with the product and what kind of policies and
requirements you have to meet, or it's going to be a mess. I can answer
more specific questions on our experiences and testing off-list.

The Juniper SA is by far and away the market leader and in my opinion
the best end user experience.

Hello All,



Is it possible to get your ideas on what VPN appliances are good to

have in

enterprise network?



Requirements are;

SSL

IPSec

Client and Web VPN support (Win/MAC/iPhone/Android)

If webvpn is used, then when any user connects via webvpn, we should

be able

to re-direct him to any and ONLY specific application i.e SAP.

If 2 boxes are installed then they should replicate data seamlessly.

The problem is that a user on this box appears to be launching high
traffic DOS attacks from it towards other sites.  These are UDP based
floods that move around from time to time - most of these attacks only
last a few minutes.


Maybe it's not 'malicious' at all. For instance, is there a Bittorrent 
client on the box?
