Hello
I would like to ask for an advice regarding the deployment of RPAD 4.0/4.1
In all the documentations that I had read, the possible scenarios include at least 1 firewall.
Do you think that a deployment of the RPAD without beeing behind a firewall can be less secure and can compromise the internal corporate LAN?
Thank you in advance for your support.

Yep - a few university customer deployed the RPAD in this way on the public firewall with being in a DMZ and had issues a few days later. Look at the security fixes in both 4.1/4.0.1. Most of them were found through internal testing, but some were reported by customers. Being behind a firewall does help on the scanning and surface attacks against the RPAD. Ports need to be opened to allow communication, but behind a firewall you can close off the unneeded ports which can't be closed ont he RPAD for example.

Thank you for your answer
In my scenario the RPAD is intended to be placed in public internet, without any firewall in front of it, so I think even worst that the case you had detailed.
I kindly ask you if you can provide a link to the " security fixies" document.
