You need an active firewall
Only the widely respected AltaVistaTM Firewall is quick and nimble enough to be called the active firewall. It’s the only one that independently reacts to network violations—while alerting you via pager, E-mail, or audio alarm—and even shuts down the firewall against heavy attacks. AltaVista stays ahead of problems because it knows all the tricks. It’s the highest level of protection for your network.

When built on an award-winning DIGITALTM Server, the AltaVista Firewall for Windows NT® provides a flexible and secure connection between your private network and the Internet or other insecure public TCP/IP networks. It prevents unauthorized access to your private network—while providing controlled access to Internet services to users within your network.
Advantages of the AltaVista Firewall

Active firewall
The AltaVista Firewall is the only firewall that takes an active role in your security management. With its unique intelligence, it warns you of impending intrusions, is constantly looking for threats to your defined security zone, and takes immediate action when attacks do occur.

Secure remote management
The AltaVista Firewall offers error-proof setup through Windows wizards and secure remote management from a centralized console running Windows® 95 or Windows NT. Using AltaVista Firewall, you can efficiently manage firewalls on numerous platforms from anywhere within the intranet or from an untrusted network through a Web-based graphical interface. Unlike other products that establish a weak link to the firewall via a serial port Telnet session, the AltaVista Firewall includes the AltaVista Tunnel for remote management—at no extra cost.

URL blocking
The AltaVista Firewall can block individual URLs, restricting access to specific Web pages to preserve network performance or increase productivity.

New and enhanced proxies
The AltaVista Firewall includes additional proxy support for WWW, RealAudioTM, UDP®, and SQL*net®. The updated WWW proxy offers significant performance enhancements and supports HTTP, HTTPS/SSL, gopher, and ftp. The RealAudio proxy lets you prevent or allow users on internal network systems to access RealAudio services on the external network via Web browsers. And Proxy Setup is even easier for network administrators with new, preconfigured transparent-mode proxies that avoid tedious configuration of network applications such as Web browsers.
