Hi folks.

I'm looking for free firewall software to install on my Godaddy website because it continues to get hacked. (the hacker installs a rouge index.php filr every 48 hours.)

May you please provide any free firewall software suggestions?

Thank you!

Are there any practical disadvantages to making ALL OSPF non backbone areas some form of stub areas? It seems these areas only ever require default routes to the backbone, and never more.

This seems to only improve convergence, with no downsides. Why isn't this the default recommended architecture?

Thank you all for your helpful replies. <3

Thanks for your response. I appreciate it.

I have no experience communicating with ISP's. Could I tell the ISP I want to use my already controlled pubic IP addresses on the WAN interface of my router?

Please inform me-- Was I right in my response to the client that he would need to contact the ISP?

CLIENT- " i want to give out a remote cisco router to each end user, and have them plug it into their home internet connection. This remote cisco router will tunnel to my local cisco router, and assign a real IP address of mine to the remote cisco router that i gave them. Then they can plug into the LAN port of that cisco router whatever they want it will have as its public ip address.

ME- "For this strategy to work you will need to contact the ISP of each client and instruct them that client "A" is to be associated with public IP address "a".

--------

ALSO-- The more I think about the client's strategy, the more confused I become.

1. Is it possible to configure this architecture technology?
2. If so, is it still possible if the remote router is behind a NAT in which the OUTSIDE LAN is also a private, non-routable, network?

Thank you 2 so much for your responses. They are very valuable to me. <3

Hi Folks.


I recently passed my ENCOR exam, yet a new work project I have is revealing 2 questions I've had for a while...


Question1: How does the ISP work with the enterprise when the enterprise wants to use a public IP address on its border router? What is expected of the ISP? Will the enterprise need to set up BGP routing on its border router?


Question 2a: Without a DMVPN setup, is it possible (however impractical) to set up a VPN in which a public IP addressed, pre-configured router plugs into an ethernet port at a residence, probably inside an ISP's private network, so that the router will achieve VPN connectivity to the enterprise office?


Question 2b: Is the above solution possible if the router does not locate behind a NAT gateway?


Thank you!
