Are you allowing split tunneling? I have worked at companies that have disabled split tunneling, which in effect turned off routing except
through the VPN server. We then would check for things like current AV def's and patch compliance.

Folks hoping for a little input here:

We have a Juniper SSL VPN that has Network Connect functionality.  We  
have our Group Policies configured so that when onsite XP firewall is  
disabled, when offsite XP firewall is enabled.

It seems what's happening when people use the Network Connect  
functionality of the VPN is that XP is detecting that it has  
connectivity to the LAN and the domain controllers/DNS boxes and is  
switching from the "Standard Profile" to the "Domain Profile" and  
dropping the firewall, which is of course unacceptable (I accept it's  
behaving by design so it's not really a criticism of Microsoft).

What do people do to work around this kind of issue?  I guess a group  
policy for laptops that enables the firewall even when on the domain  
is one option, and I've opened a case with JTAC in case I'm missing  
something on the SA config.

Thanks.

I have split tunnelling disabled, but being frank my low level  
knowledge of TCP/IP isn't sufficient to know if it's sufficient  
mitigation for lack of a software firewall.

Frustratingly, the Juniper Host Checker comes with a firewall but you  
need admin rights simply to enable/disable that component.

Cheers,
Paul

Hi,

I'm not sure the juniper host checker comes with a firewall. It can
check if there is a firewall running, but the main goal is to check for
some config on the remote host (process running, open port, antivirus
running, etc).

did you mean "network connect" ?
