is there a registry setting that one can enable to prevend programs from creating exceptions for themselves in this s/w firewall?
i don't get it. what kind of firewall protection is this that can allow 3rd party apps to create exceptions for themselves?
notes:
- we are not running AD.
- we don't want to use another vendors s/w firewall on the XP clients. (actually, it's not my decision. orders from up above. i just follow.)
Do you have enough in your budget for a firewall on you client gateway? It's going to be a lot easier to filter traffic per-subnet or per-gateway than on each individual host. Of course, it's up to you, but I never liked client firewalls because they get really messy to administer above a handful of machines.
You might want to see if a content filtering product like 'BlueCoat' from EdgeBlue would work with your budget.
