Biguard S20 inbound traffic
Posted: Thu Nov 24, 2011 5:27 pm
Hi
I have a Biguard S20 and I'm trying to set up a rule to direct traffic on a specific port from a specific external address to a specific internal server, while denying traffic from anywhere else to the internal server. How do I do this?
A Virtual Server appears to have priority over the packet filter rule base. It would be better if the packet filter rules over-ruled the virtual server setting. That way I could just set up the virtual server then apply the rules to allow just the traffic I want, with a default drop at the end of the rule base to mop up everything else. As it is, if I create a virtual server it doesn't matter what drop rules I have to the virtual server, they are ignored. Surely that can't be the way it's meant to work.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
