Kaspersky Endpoint Security 10
Hi. I have Kaspersky Endpoint Security 10 installed on my Windows Server 2003 file servers. Everything seems to work well, but there is a firewall task running in the Kaspersky program which blocks access to the Server from remote users, who need to see their files over VPN. Even from another office, different subnet, we cannot see the Server because this firewall is running. I can go into Kaspersky and stop the firewall and everything is great. When I do so, however, invariably the next morning or the day after, the firewall is restarted again. I've looked everywhere for settings to control this and cannot find it. I'm guessing ideally I want the firewall running and enabled with access opened to network authenticated users.

Thanks much. Kaspersky advised that I use version 8 for my Servers rather than version 10, and this has worked. Version 10 installed a "firewall" which blocked my subnets from seeing each other. Thanks much for your help.

E.g. The firewall probably blocks traffic not from the local subnet and RDP by default. Maybe can modify the following rules under "Protection Policy":
Allow these rules:
- Remote desktop network activity
- TCP connections through local ports
- UDP connections through local ports
- Incoming ICMP stream (for testing only)
But maybe the best way is to identify which ports do you need to open on a firewall to allow PPTP and L2TP over IPSec VPN tunnels (see below) and set it accordingly.
