Hey Everybody,
I was just wondering if anyone knows anything about
Instant Internet??
It seems to be an simple proxy server/firewall (this is stretching
the definition of firewall) that provides reasonable
security. One of its key security assumptions is that the
internal network is NOT TCP/IP!!!
Apparantly it is prone to the piggy backing of IPX on TCP/IP
and thereby easy to break??
Is this true??
Any comments on this product??
Cheers
Simon
