We're having an issue with Windows defender firewall and Vesoft security. Users logging into the HP3000 are having a 6 minute delay before getting the Vesoft security password prompt if Windows Defender Firewall is turned on. This has become a big issue with everyone working remote over VPN. It doesn’t have an issue for Domain networks only Public or Private.



I've forward information to VESOFT support but past recommendation was to add PC name to NO-HOST-CHECK in the SECURCON file. With thousands of users this isn't a good solution.



Explanation from Microsoft.

"They have provided a detailed solution as to what is happening. Long story short, Windows firewall is designed to drop packets for destination ports when there is no client listening for traffic on that port, we are seeing traffic come in from the server attempting to use port 2560 which the client is not listening for. Ultimately if fails and drops to the other port (I have no idea why or how that happens), and that is the delay."



Any suggestions beside turn off the firewall or add NO-HOST-CHECK for every PC?
