Setting up a Canadian proxy server

[BluffTHIS!]

Perc,

Thanks again for further explanation.

Regarding your last sentence, I do see why a hardware firewall is better in the respect that if the VPN connectivity is lost and the poker client tries to re-establish connection, it has nowhere to go except through that VPN configured firewall.

I am running Norton System Works 2003 (I only update software when absolutely necessary although I keep a subscription up for definition updates), and in researching same, it cannot be configured for VPN. However the current version of Norton firewall can be. I would imagine that the risk of both the VPN connection and a properly configured firewall both dropping out, especially when used by a knowlegeable person, is so unlikely as to be *almost* negligible, as a parlay has to occur. Nonetheless that probability isn't zero, which it is with the hardware firewall.
