The problem with zonealarm is that i blocks ALL and then opens up. Zonealarm
supports TCP and UPD but it dose not support GRE (nor do ipchains without
patch). Since microsoft always e´want to do things their own way they have
choosen GRE as the protocol of choice when putting up the tunnel. This makes
firewalling h-ll.
