Re: wVirtual Firewall

Hi Martin,

Yes and its other NIC is connected to your internal network!

Whomever made the effort to install this Windows-hosted virtual firewall is not focused on security.

Please consider the sensitivity of the data in your network and layer security to those servers.  And immedialtey looking at real firewalls for your network.

I Hope this information is helpful.
