Re: [FW-1] 4.1 and asymmetric routing



Thanks, that is what was recommended from the phoneboy website, but seemed
to have no impact.In neither case has SYN attack protection been enabled
either (to eliminate it from the equation).  I didn't know if there was some
other setting I was missing out on....

Thanks again,
Gordon

There is a way to do it but it is changing the behaviour of the whole
firewall and I would not recommend it.

uncomment the line: #define NON_SYN_RULEBASE_MATCH_LOG in the file
fwui_head.def

Regards,

Theo

Gordon, seems you need to put a router between your LAN, the Firewall
and the VPN appliance.
You're right with the description, why FW-1 drops the SYN-ACK. You can't
get FW-1 to accept SYN-ACKs without seeing the appropriate SYNs before.
