I know if one of our workstations connects to a VPN site (in this case a hospital), when they are connected they are controlled by the hospital's rules as to which websites you can connect to. This is using the CISCO software VPN client. I was wondering if it redirects HTTP to run through the tunnel.
Our goal is to shut off web surfing to everyonem but our collectors need to use a web browser to connect to the client's sites via CISCO VPN Client. I can't test it remotely or else I'll shut myself off from the router web interface. --- On Wed, 12/1/10, Tracy Pearson <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Tracy Pearson <[email protected]> > Subject: RE: [NF] Turning off port 80 > To: [email protected] > Date: Wednesday, December 1, 2010, 5:46 PM > Michael Madigan wrote on 2010-12-01: > > > If I have VPN set up between offices and I turn off > Port 80 on the > > router to the outside world but leave the VPN tunnel > alone, I should > > still be able to use HTTP to the VPN site, correct? > > > > Michael, > > HTTP is port 80, if you shut that off, it's all off. > Linux has IPTABLES.
