Ok, i've seen the article about split tunnelling on ISAserver.org and i'm 
convinced ;)

Although the risks are reduced because we and our customers are behind ISA 
firewalls, I'll unconfigure everyone here.

Thanks for the clarification and pardon the ignorance ;)

Peace!

We had a beautiful example of that once where a consultant was connected to the 
lan here and dialed into his office at the same time for mail.  I'll be damned 
if Melissa didn't find her way into our network....

The short story is that you just lost control over the VPN client's ability to 
reach non-local-subnet content.
Once this happens, their connection effectively provides a bridge between the 
Internet and your internal network.
Bad Ju-Ju if I ever saw it...

Why is that a breach for the internal network? My clients still browse the web 
thru my ISA firewall and their policies are applied.

Isn't this change just a route metric modification? How can it compromise me?

This is called "split tunneling" and represents a serious security breach for 
your internal network.

If your VPN clients need Internet access, they can (and should) point IE to the 
ISA "Internal" web proxy listener in the VPN connectoid properties in IE.
This way, they get only what your policies allow.

There's a workaround. Here for our developers, I modify the VPN connection so 
the default gateway is not changed to the remote network.

 

Get the properties for the VPN connection, click on the network tab, get the 
TCP/IP properties, click advanced and uncheck the box that says "default 
gateway on remote network blah blah blah"

 

It's only a PIA if the customer has more than one subnet, then you have to 
create routes manually on the client via a batch script after it connects to 
the VPN.

The big disadvantage that I see from VPN is that it cuts off access to the rest 
of the Internet for the client while connected to the VPN.  No email, no web 
access.  We have developers who may spend hours at a time connected.  Is there 
some way to "harden" the security for RDP?

Hi Guinn,

 

VPN is the most secure. I don't allow RDP connections into the network directly 
from the Internet. You can RDP inside the authenticated and inspected VPN link, 
but don't directly RDP into your network from an untrusted network.

 

HTH,

http://www.ISAserver.org

I don't know if this has been discussed before or not.  I have the opportunity 
to access my corporate network via any of three methods:

 

1.      VPN (standard Windows VPN) 
2.      TS 
3.      TS through web site (connect to web site and TS through ActiveX 
control) 

 

Is there any inherent difference in the security of any of these methods, or 
are they basically all the same?  I use different ones at different times, but 
it occurred to me that they might not be equally secure.  (I'm going through 
ISA Server in each case.  Can use ISA 2000 or ISA 2004.)

 

TIA.
