Question by : Does the windows firewall “block” rule DROP or REJECT packets?
I’m familiar with Linux firewalls and iptables. I don’t know much about windows firewalls.
If I use windows firewall to “block” a port, does it reject it, or deny/drop it?
Consider the following information:

DENY means the packet is discarded, dropped to the floor, assigned to oblivion. No reply packet of any kind is sent. (In the new iptables for Linux 2.4, this is now called DROP, which is clearer than DENY).

REJECT means that for every packet received an ICMP port unreachable packet is sent to the source address. Of course this tells the remote host that your system is up and running and that you are running a firewall.

I must give credit where credit is due. I used the definition for DROP/DENY and REJECT from the following website:

Answer by mdigitale
I have a Windows Server 2008 R2 box — by default it drops packets (which is what I want).

I too am more familiar with iptables.

If you want to reject, you may be able to disable stealth mode:

There no terrible and disturbing feeling as getting unpleasant surprises at the last minute and you can’t afford to neglect them yet you had the opportunity to. This is what is happening to many homeowners renovating their homes. It is always important as a homeowner to budget your finances at all times. This is where house window quotes come in. The quotes help you get an estimation of the amount of money that you need to invest in the home renovation project before you actually start the project. Regardless of whether you’re going to resort to the DIY system of work or you will hire a team of workers to facilitate the various installations you need to do the necessary quotations.

Accurate Quotations Will Make it Better

Ensure that you know what you want first. The second thing is to know where to find the windows themselves and the cost they go for. If the benefits of the window match the cost then you need to calculate the installation/ labor costs. It is also imperative that you get the necessary accessories in order when doing the house window quotes so that you get accurate results that will assist you to budget accordingly and not misleadingly. Of course, there are some costs that you can forgo, for instance the labor costs only if you choose the DIY system. The system may appear handy but if you are not a professional it is not advisable to follow it as complications may arise and you may not know what to do.


How to Get Accurate Quotations

Now, if you want to get accurate house window quotes to help you budget well, here are some of the things that you need to put on your priority list. The first thing to do is to receive advice from a qualified and competent professional in the field. You could have a window salesperson visit your home and brief you on the various pricing techniques that are critical and cannot be avoided under any circumstances. Alternatively, you may have a contractor come and offer the best recommendations for your replacement windows. Ensure that the personnel you invite will do the necessary measurements if needed so as to make the order of the right window size.

It is also imperative that you choose a suitable window model for your new house or for your replacement project. Have the salesperson or the contractor briefed you on the possible models available and that will be fit your house.

Dayton, OH (Vocus) July 27, 2010

SuperLumin Networks, a leading provider of high-speed media proxy and application acceleration solutions, today announced the immediate availability of its eDir Single Sign On (SSO) authentication as the BorderManager ClientTrust replacement. The highly anticipated announcement comes at the most opportune time, as BorderManager customers are transitioning into the SuperLumin Proxy Cache.

Running as an executable on a Windows client, SuperLumin eDir SSO is the latest development for the SuperLumin Proxy Server. Seamlessly integrated into the Novell NetWare login client, SuperLumin eDir SSO securely authenticates the user without prompting for credentials.

Unlike most standard IP or cookie-based trackers, SuperLumin eDir SSO utilizes a secure SSL protocol to exchange information between the Windows client and the SuperLumin Proxy Server. Sessions are authenticated individually rather than being trusted, simply because they match an authenticated IP address. Any unauthenticated session is validated, rather than trusting its being conducted over the same IP as another authentication.

We are pleased to provide Novell customers with all the features and functionalities they previously were accustomed to with BorderManager. With the availability of SuperLumin eDir SSO, customers can seamlessly transition into the SuperLumin product while having the comfort of knowing their network is secure and properly authenticated, said Doug Merrill, Senior Software Engineer at SuperLumin.

Utilizing the BorderManager ClientTrust UPD Port, firewall adjustments are minimized by default. SuperLumin eDir SSO also automatically adjusts the Windows firewall to open the configured port for communication. Alternatively, the application can be configured to utilize a different port when specified.

In March, SuperLumin Networks announced its agreement with Novell to offer BorderManager customers with a SUSE Linux-based replacement proxy. SuperLumin products provide users with flexible solutions designed to meet specific business needs.

SuperLumin iProxy

As the official Novell sanctioned BorderManager replacement, SuperLumin iProxy (Generation 2) has all the key features and functionality users need for perimeter security and Internet caching. An all-in-one VPN, firewall and proxy, the SuperLumin iProxy product includes eDir SSO and optional on-box content filtering, among many other features.

SuperLumin Nemesis

SuperLumin Nemesis takes proxy caching to a whole new level by accelerating the latest Internet and Internet delivered video (including Microsoft Silverlight and Move Networks), and caching the heaviest bandwidth applications on social media sites such as Facebook and YouTube. SuperLumin Nemesis is guaranteed to dramatically improve the users’ experience while significantly decreasing link congestion.

BorderManager customers interested in purchasing SuperLumin iProxy or Nemesis should call 937-220-9811, or visit us on the Web at http://www.superlumin.com.
