Hi all,
I am currently running a server using a combined router/firewall (Winroute) - this seems great on blocking external attack, and doesn't fail any test at www.grc.com bar the 'leak test.' I assume to fix this I would need to sort out the outgoing packet filter. Basically the firewall is suceeding on stopping unwanted packets coming in, set to send a denying packet if a packet is recieved without entry into the NAT table.. however it will let unwanted packets leave from stuff like trojan viruses, and spyware. Any ideas of how to configure a packet filter for outgoing packets to stop this???
Many thanks...
