Hey Experts. &nbsp;I have a Windows 2008 server that has SpiceWorks installed so the field technicians can access our ticket management system. &nbsp;However, because this server sits in my home office, I would really like to make sure that I set this up right. &nbsp;I am working on making secure connections but would like to monitor/record what IP's are hitting the resource (SpiceWorks) on my server. &nbsp;Is there a decent yet free program that would do this?<br />
<br />
I do not have a hardwire firewall in place besides the basic Linksys/Cisco router that does the port forwarding to the server. &nbsp;I use dynamic dns so the field techs can hit the server until I get the sticky IP in place.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

HTTPS is a protocol for secure communication over a computer network which is widely used on the Internet. HTTPS consists of communication over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) within a connection encrypted by Transport Layer Security (TLS) or its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The main motivation for HTTPS is authentication of the visited website and to protect the privacy and integrity of the exchanged data. HTTPS is widely used for protecting page authenticity on all types of websites, securing accounts and keeping user communications, identity and web browsing private.
