Bitdefender 2008 And Cisco Vpn Client On Vista Ultimate Options

[dyugle]

For an unknown reason you will have to edit the rule and change it back to the way it is on the word doc as Bit defender switches the source and destination after the rule is added.

Andrei, what is the eta for this fix? I would like to test it before my trial runs out in 3 weeks.

One of these days the fix should be on the update servers. So, you'll have to check the option to "Aplly a generic profile...", then connect with the VPN client, and the rule for the client will be saved onto the "generic" ruleset, so every time you'll use VPN, the rule will be there because the generic profile will be selected.
i'll wait for a confrmation that it works, after the update.

Okay well it appears this update has been sent out since i have the option to select apply the same profile to all new networks.

I was using VPN before on BDv10 and it worked no problem. Since I'm using Vista I updated to BD IS 2008 yesterday and have had quite some trouble sorting this out.

I was able to get VPN working yesterday by selecting that option and then when prompted selecting allow. It worked fine for VPN but then when I tried connecting to my computer at work using Remote Desktop it would not let me connect unless i turned the firewall off. So after researching this a little it appeared all I had to do was put a new rule in for that IP address in both my inbound and outbound traffic. I did this and ever since then my VPN won't even connect with the firewall on. I tried deleting the rules i created and it didn't help. I have just run a repair and tried again (without creating the rule) but VPN still will not connect. I dont' really know what else to do because I'd rather not run BD without the firewall on.

ok so i sorted out the VPN problem... i am just wondering how to get my Remote Desktop Connection working if possible.

Here's what worked for me:

I'm using BD Internet Security 2009 on a Vista machine, so I'm not positive that this will apply to BD 2008, but here it is. I had to change one property in the network connection that is created when I open my VPN client (e.g. Local Area Connection 2). Open your Network Connections (Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Manage network connections), right click on the connection and select Properties, uncheck the box next to 'BitDefender Firewall NDIS Filter Driver' and click Okay. That's it!

I also tested this with and without multiple other setting that I have seen suggested in various forums. For me, it does not matter whether I create rules (though one is created automatically, when my VPN client connects), it doesn't matter if I to use the 'Generic' setting for my connections, etc. Obviously, you'll need the trust level for your connection to be at least 'Safe', but I don't believe that any other settings should make much of a difference.

Good luck, I hope this works for others as well.

Thank you reddkap, this worked for me too, but I'm not sure if firewall is still active on that network adapter if I unchecked 'BitDefender Firewall NDIS Filter Driver'. Any ideas?
