Hi folks,

Considering those facts:

    - the growing number of worms and any other form of harmfull virus.
    - that IP is a powerfull tool.
    - the growing bandwidth usable for end-users.
    - the need for business customers to have stable and reliable internet
access.

Today we're perhaps offering our customer a too powerfull tool. Most (lets
say 80 or 90%) of our "mass" customers only use smtp/pop3/imap/http/https.

Is it still appropriate to give to "mass" customers ability to generate any
kind of communication using IP?
What about blocking TCP_SYN _TO_ dial/adsl (non-business) customers?
Should we even think about blocking some kind of outgoing traffic?

then you'll don't sell a "free" internet.
what's about users use vpn to the office? some special ports like to use web-mail (Port e.g. 8383) and M$ Terminal-Services? and...


other Q: what do you want to block?

I'm not asking this on a technical point of view, but more on a
philosophical point of view.

That's ok, but we should kill the root.

Ideas?
