The Microsoft ISA Server Firewall Client is a wonderfully amazing piece of software that allows you to very granularly control network communication on hosts which it is installed. If you are not familiar with the Firewall Client, it is a software component that can be installed on Windows hosts that allows you to proxy any TCP or UDP based communication.
There is no need to configure individual applications to work with the Firewall Client. It is a layer service provider that transparently intercepts Winsock calls and if the destination is remote, the Firewall Client sends that communication to the ISA firewall. Your routing infrastructure becomes transparent to your clients, and you gain the ability to enforce user and group based access control. Best of all, the Firewall Client logs not only the user name for each request, but the application that made the request as well. Very powerful stuff!Troubleshooting Firewall Client communication can sometimes be difficult, however.
Thankfully enough, there is a command line utility included with the Firewall Client that makes that job much easier. If you navigate to the ‘Program FilesMicrosoft Firewall Client 2004’ folder you will find a program called ‘fwctool.exe’.
