Hi
I have a computer which will have the Anyconnect VPN client installed on it.
It will connect to the remote site's ASA (remote-access VPN).
Is there any way that i can ensure that the remote site cannot initiate connections to the client?
I've tried searching around but only come up with RRI which afaik is not applicable in this case.
I need this to be provable as the local network needs to be well secured.
Cheers,

Hi Junglistposse,
In Remote Access VPN, only client has the information related to VPN like remote peer IP address, credentials etc. So he has all the powers to initiate the connection. On the other hand remote site has no such information about the client he will never initiate the connection to client. In Remote Access VPN there is always a one way connection initiated i.e from client to remote site.
If this was helpful, please rate it or marked it as answered.
