Windows Forum / Security / Firewalls / September 2006Quick Question - Performance
This has to do with outbound performance and with that, the question: Does a firewall affect outbound performance on a circuit. Does it care what is leaving the network as long as no rule is in place that would restrict a certain protocol? Thanks DJ > This has to do with outbound performance and with that, the question: > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > DJ The windows firewall does nothing with/to/for/about outgoing data. It only monitors incoming data. A 3rd party firewall will most likely monitor traffic in both directions. Usually a firewall blocks everything in whatever direction it looks at until it's told at least once to permanently allow that traffic, whether by defaults or the used entries. HTH Pop` |
