Hi!

For which service do you need it at all?
Secure Remote? Secure Clien? Site-to-Site-VPN?

We got all three running with NGfp3 here with following Ports accepted to the 
Firewall:

-IKE
-IKE_tcp
-VPN1_IPSEC_encapsulation
-tunnel_test
-FW1_scv_keep_alive
-FW1_pslogon_NG
and
-FW1_topo

because it is a risky thing with fw-topo you can avoid it when you create a fix 
topo and put it on the client without fetching at every connection...

Betreff: [FW-1] Disabling certain Firewall-1 "control connections"
ports.


Hello,

In a recent security audit, I was advised to disable external
access to TCP port 264 (FW1_topo) because it could be used to
extract detailed network topology information from my firewall.

So far the only way I found to do this was to disable "Accept
VPN-1 & Firewall-1 control connections" in the Global Properties
pane.  But if I do this, then all my IPSEC VPNs also stop working.

I tried adding a rule to allow specific IKE and IPSEC packets
through, but this didn't appear to work.  In the log it says
"encryption failure: received a cleartext packet within an
encrypted connection" at the start of any IKE negotiation.
Ths is logged against the rule I created specifically to allow
IKE.

Can anyone suggest a way to make this work?


Thanks in advance for any help.


Simon Ashford.
