Firewall for organisational units
The firewall for organisational units helps protect the organisational units and subunits of the University of Vienna against dangers from the Internet.
The ZID sets up and maintains the firewall for the relevant organisational unit. Newly configured networks are also automatically protected by the firewall.
Form Firewall-Regeln verwalten (Managing Firewall regulations, in German)
Form Firewall-Störung melden (Reporting Firewall interruption, in German)
Configuring the firewall
The default configuration principally blocks incoming connections and allows outgoing connections.
Allowing access from outside or editing other settings is possible with Firewall regulations. To enter, edit or delete Firewall regulations, the responsible IT representatives have to contact the ZID via firewall.zid(at)univie.ac.at or via the Servicedesk.
Responsible IT representatives are entered in the Bluecat Address Manager as authorised persons for a network in the respective VLAN.
