[-- Attachment #1 --] Hello, Is it (very) dangerous to allow all outgoing connections? I have IPFW running wich ristricts what is going into the server/LAN from the internet. But it does not restrict what is going to the internet from within my LAN. Is this potentially dangerous, with regards to virussus (or virri?) and trojans? This has puzzled me for some time now.
