Bdfw 2011 - Can You Turn Off Firewall On An Interface

andyshall

Hi there,

I have Bit Defender 2011 TS running on a Vista 64Bit Server SP2.

I have had no issues whatsoever and I am very happy with the product set but lately I was given a Juniper VPN client to use to access some specific work servers. The Client loads OK, and connects OK with no warnings but I can see that there is no traffic allowed through. I have Created a Firewall Rule for the application for ANY protocol across all events and for TRUSTED and HOME/OFFICE use. I have also defined it to be ANY PORT and ANY IP or both Local and Remote addresses.

I have also tried to enter a Network Zone for the VPN interface - but the problem is that the interface changes IP address through DHCP regularly. So I cannot specify an IP address for the Zone. I had tried creating a network profile for the interface with all combinations of Network Type, VPN, Stealth and Generic but still no traffic passes.

Is there a way to segment the interface and block BDFW from monitoring it but continuing to monitor and protect the other interfaces ?

Thanks,

Cristi Raducu

Hello andyshall,

If the network for the VPN has a dynamic IP address then you need to select under Generic: Yes

Any success in using Juniper VPN? For me it works only when I disable BDFW completely (BTW, the same with Nortel VPN - doesn't work with BDFW). So for now I am running with built in Windows firewall (and BDFW disabled)...

IMPORTANT: Before running the Support Tool make sure you enable the "Increase log verbosity" for the Firewall module within BitDefender.

1. Open BitDefender and switch it to Expert View;

2. Go to Firewall module;

3. Go to Activity tab;

4. Check the box next to "Increase log verbosity";

5. Try to reproduce the issue 2-3 times;

6. Go to the location below:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\BitDefender\BitDefender Firewall
