PacketiX VPN 2.0 Manual  Chapter 11 Troubleshooting and Supplementary Information 11.4 Additional Security Information |
11.4 Additional Security Information
This section contains additional information regarding security when
using PacketiX VPN.
- Also, SoftEther's web site (http://www.softether.com/)
may contain more up to date support information than that found in
this manual. When you are troubleshooting a problem, always remember
to check there as well.
11.4.1 Dealing With Viruses or Worms on Your VPN
Refer to section 「11.2.8 Recreating a Switch's Port VLAN Functionality」 if you want to monitor packets on your VPN
for viruses, worms, or other attacks when using PacketiX VPN.
Viruses or worms could also possibly enter the system through the
Virtual Network Adapter on the VPN Client side. To prevent this you can
use your normal third party anti-virus or firewall software. However,
please note that some of these software packages do not work well with
PacketiX VPN.
11.4.3 Is there any danger of my VPN Client service being controlled
remotely immediately after installing VPN Client before I have
configured it?
As explained in section 「4.7.1 Remote Management of VPN Client」, the VPN Client service program can
be controlled remotely from another computer via VPN Client Manager or
vpncmd, but this feature is disabled by default. Therefore, there is no
danger of the VPN Client service being controlled remotely immediately
after installation unless you specifically enable this feature.
