FOTOWEB 6.0 Reference Manual - FotoWare

Protecting your internal LAN behind a firewall
Another affordable option is to place the FotoWeb server on your internal LAN, which is protected by a
firewall or a packet filtering router. The firewall must be configured to allow traffic on the Http protocol
to pass through to the FotoWeb server.
In addition to giving your server basic protection behind a firewall, it allows your internal users to work
directly with the archive using the FotoStation or FotoWeb clients. It is easy to manage your servers, and
your internal users have optimal performance when accessing the archives.
However, in the case where a hacker is able to compromise your web server, your entire network will be
vulnerable to an attack.
