There is an option in VPN wizard to start static packet filters on VPN
enabled interface. They allow only selected VPN traffic to pass thru VPN
enabled interface.
If you don't find it good enough, you can always create IPSec policies.
Patching and hardening before connecting to the public network is a must.

How secure is Windows 2003 VPN? I understand the data transmission
encryption, but I'm curious about the security of the network. When one
installs the VPN on an standalone 03 server one has to shut off the
Windows
firewall service.
Due to minimal resources , I would like to not have to install a hardware
firewall and have the Win2k3 server, running only the VPN, hook directly
into my domain controller, which runs AD, etc. (Due to our network, the DC
has a firewall on it.)
Is this safe at all? Is the Win2k3 VPN box vulnerable? Could I run a
software firewall on Win2k3 VPN box to take the place of Windows
firewall,
which apparently can't run?
What would the ISA server do for me, if I could afford it.
Thanks!
