We know some of you won't do it unless you're spoon-fed the information. Subscribe to notifications to get notified of comments. We'll comment when we make modifications to the config.

It's just something thrown together and likely contains errors and omissions. Read through it and understand it before you just copypasta. You'll have to read because you'll have to change IP blocks, interfaces, port numbers, etc. If you don't use any of the VPNs, remove that particular VPN.

Note that you'll need the web interface open to accept SSTP. The web server has had exploits before, so maybe you don't want to just leave 443 open to the world. Maybe you don't use this and instead add the IP to the whitelist if static or use port-knocking if dynamic.

There's a port-knocking sequence in there as well. TCP 9000, TCP 32000, and then TCP 6000. Each needs to be hit within 10s of the last to open up the firewall for 10h. Check out this post of Greg's helps you figure out how to build an application to manage port knocking on the client's side (and a pre-built one). http://gregsowell.com/?p=2020

There's still the FTP\SSH brute-force scripts in there as a last line of defense in case something in your management networks gets compromised. I'd appreciate some commentary on how to capture winbox, telnet, IPSEC, OpenVPN, etc. brute force attacks as well so we can protect those whitelisted networks\services as much as possible. Unlike brute-force detection you may have done before where the goal was to block and not alert due to the amount of traffic, you'll want to keep your eyes on anything that makes it through this part of the config because it will be a device you trust that's compromised.
