Question

How can i secure xp network with ip sec?

Answer 1

Hello,



Here is a comprehensive tutorial on how to block traffic using IPsec. The below example will block traffic over SQL's port, 1433:



Start > Run... > mmc > Add "Ip security policies" snap-in, on "local computer"



Alternately

Start > Run > secpol.msc



* Right-click on the "IP Security Policies on Local Computer" icon > Create IP Security Policy



* Name it something descriptive, i.e.: "Block x.x.x.x from SQL"

* Uncheck "Activate default response rule"

* Leave "Edit properties" checked



* Click Add

* This rule does not specify a tunnel

* All network connections

* Click Add

o - NOTE - What you are specifying here is a range on IPs and ports to be included in this policy

o Name it something descriptive, i.e.: "All IPs, port 21" or "1.2.x.x, port 1433"



* Click Add

* Dont need to enter a description, keep "mirrored" checkbox checked



* Source > depends on what you are trying to do

o - Most of the time you will block a specific IP address, or ALL



* Destination

o - most of the time will just be "My ip address"



* Protocol

o - normally TCP



* IP Protocol port

o - normally "From any port"

o - Specify "TO" port for the service

+ i.e.: 1433 for SQL, 21 for FTP, 25 for SMTP etc...



* When complete, choose the new filter list you just created



Filter Action screen



There are 3 filters in place by default, you will need to add a new filter for "Blocking" traffic



* Click Add

* Name the filter action something descriptive, i.e.: "Block traffic"

* Choose "Block"

* Finish



* Choose the filter action you have just created

* Uncheck "Edit Properties"

* Click OK



Right-click on the policy you have just created, then choose "Assign"



This should help solve your issue.
