DoorStop, from Open Door Networks, Inc., is a software-based "firewall" product for Macintosh servers. Unlike conventional firewalls, which are usually expensive dedicated hardware devices, DoorStop is software which you install directly on the servers which you wish to protect. DoorStop is signficantly easier to set up and use than a hardware firewall and provides the same capabilities at lower cost.
With DoorStop, you can specify precisely which machines should have access to which services, and you can keep track of both allowed and denied access attempts to those services. DoorStop works well with a wide range of Macintosh-based Internet servers, including AppleShare IP, WebSTAR, and Open Door's ShareWay IP product line.
With DoorStop installed on your server you can:
- block access to any TCP service on the server from any address or range of addresses
- block accesses to all TCP services on the server
- block accesses to particular IP addresses within a multihomed server
- keep a log of all denied and allowed accesses
DoorStop has been specifically tuned to work well with Open Door's ShareWay IP product line. You can use DoorStop with ShareWay IP to:
- enhance the built-in security of AFP servers
- eliminate worries about "guest" access being turned on with personal file sharing
- provide different levels of security for each server supported by ShareWay IP Pro
