Controlling access to protected computers

Control how outside users access your network

If you run a Virtual Private Network

Norton Personal Firewall works with the following Virtual Private
Networks (VPNs):

Nortel

VPNRemote

PGP

SecureRemote

With most VPNs, when the VPN client is active, you cannot see the Internet
or other computers on your local network. You can only see what is
available through the VPN server to which you are connected.
