MS Proxy fails closed. If correctly configured it never routes packets - IP forwarding disabled on OS level. It's Proxy after all :-) BTW I'm not starting religious wars about Proxy based vs. Packet filtering Firewalls -----Original Message----- From: Tony Miedaner [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, September 28, 2000 23:11 To: Carl T Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [FW1] Firewall Somewhat off topic but.... IMHO, the devils in the details. Very basically, a well designed fw product should fail closed (passes nothing). I would suspect that MS Proxy would have the potential to fail open. Can anyone else comment on this? fw-1 at a minimum passes that test.
