Personal Firewalls


Fri Jan 4 00:30:02 EST 2008






I was wondering if many on the list have end users employing personal firewall
such as AtGuard or SyGate?  I have more and more users that across North America
directly connecting to the Internet via DSL or cable modem.  They then use these
connections
to VPN into the corporate network (I disallow split-tunneling to prevent breach
into the network and
they use IPsec.)  The more fore-sightful users are employing some kind of
firewall to protect their
home systems from attack.  I am interested in any experiences good or bad with
personal firewalls in this kind of environment.  And I am interested in hearing
how these have
played together with various VPN platforms.  I haven't had a chance to test
these personal
firewalls myself.  Thanks.
