If the auditor was worth his/her salt, being able to come back and state
with a high level of confidence what type of firewall and even the major
version number is always a good finding. ;)

In the policy editor  do  Policy / Properties  and there on the
"Security Policy"
Tab you will find "Implied Rules" starting near the middle of the
window.  There you
will find the mentioned (probably checked)  "Accept VPN..."

#ifdef flamebait
Just to be nasty:  why did your IT security auditor do not tell you that
you have
the FW1 VPN services enabled (superfluously) - instead of just telling
you the port
numbers?  Any serious auditor for FW1 should IMHO know what these ports
are...
#endif

Bye
