I find it difficult to even conceptualize that a Microsoft product can be configured through any firewall securely, especially one such as netmeeting which slobers all over the port ranges, however, Raptor Eagle firewall, now owned by Axent technologies, claims to be able to proxy netmeeting (I am not sure they indicate securely). VPN trusted on TIS and VPN with filters on Raptor are the other options, however, most sites using netmeeting, often desire an open forum with many remote sites, therefore departing from the VPN solution. TIS firewall uses access-list filtering on port ranges for the nasty part of netmeeting and another portion can be plugged, however, this sets up basic logging only for the plugs NOT the udp (unless you choose to God - Forbid turn on tracing). Raptor has their generic service passer in the older to present versions, and again claims a pseudo proxy in the new version. At present, this cannot be securely proxied or plugged!!!!! Tell (convince) your site to choose another product if you can. -----Original Message----- From: Kjell Wooding <kwooding () codetalker com> To: 'firewall-wizards () nfr com' <firewall-wizards () nfr net> Date: Thursday, June 04, 1998 1:52 PM Subject: Re: Dealing with MS Netmeeting & H.323
I'm wondering if anyone has had much luck securing Microsoft'sNetmeeting product? Thistopic has been discussed here and on other lists. People usually justthrow up theirhands when dealing with it. What's the best adviceOf course, if all you want to do is secure Netmeeting between known sites (say two branch offices), a VPN solution will suffice. [Of course, PPTP has its own problems, so avoid that one.] -kj -- Kjell Wooding <kwooding () codetalker com> Codetalker Communications, Inc. For Infosec News, see http://www.codetalker.com/
