Hi, thanks for replying, yeah the server was previously running Linux,
and running well, but some games now dont support dedicated server
for this platform so the move to Windows is pretty much forced.
As with the Windows Firewall, never really used it outside and
internal network, being an MS product anyway im not 100% confident
that it will be secure enough!
Why would you care, since your server is running on Windows anyway?
Windows is a Microsoft product too, y'know, and every software firewall
will be running on top of it.
As VB said: stop all services that you don't need on that box. Remove
all software that isn't needed to maintain the server. If you feel you
need a firewall: running it on a separate box would be a good idea,
because software firewalls will hog resources that you'd probably rather
use for the game servers.
