A firewall's job is to regulate unwanted/undesired traffic and to enforce policy as defined by the business, not to invent it.

If the business policy is to allow virus definition updates then the firewall should be configured to do so. If not, it should be blocked completely. Anything else is just a power-trip on the part of the firewall administrator and the responsibility should fall to them when their mis-configuration has consequences.

Hi,

The SysAdmin that responsible for Firewall maintenance,  allows to open only one IP in the firewall for freshclam use.

I shall check squid definitions again.

Thank you,

Zvi
