Because IPsec uses mathematically intensive cryptographic techniques, it can consume significant overhead on a device. Areas to watch:
-**Encryption.** You might use 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256) and 384-bit Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-384) to check integrity in situations that require the strongest available encryption and key exchange protection. If you have NICs that support IPsec Task Offload, you can reduce the effect that encryption has on network throughput. For more information, see [IPsec Task Offload](http://technet.microsoft.com/network/dd277647.aspx).

-**Security association (SA) negotiation.** You can use a shorter lifetime for the main mode SA, such as three hours, but then you might need to make tradeoffs. Because each main mode SA occupies approximately 5 KB of RAM, situations in which a server brokers tens of thousands of concurrent connections can lead to overutilization.
Although network perimeter firewalls provide important protection to network resources from external threats, there are network threats that a perimeter firewall cannot protect against. Some attacks might successfully penetrate the perimeter firewall, and at that point what can stop it? Other attacks might originate from inside the network, such as malware that is brought in on portable media and run on a trusted device. Portable device are often taken outside the network and connected directly to the Internet, without adequate protection between the device and security threats.
Reports of targeted attacks against organizations, governments, and individuals have become more widespread in recent years. For a general overview of these threats, also known as advanced persistent threats (APT), see the [Microsoft Security Intelligence Report](http://www.microsoft.com/security/sir/default.aspx).

Running a host-based firewall on every device that your organization manages is an important layer in a "defense-in-depth" security strategy. A host-based firewall can help protect against attacks that originate from inside the network and also provide additional protection against attacks from outside the network that manage to penetrate the perimeter firewall. It also travels with a portable device to provide protection when it is away from the organization's network.

### Disable Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security
Microsoft recommends that you do not disable Windows Defender Firewall because you lose other benefits provided by the service, such as the ability to use Internet Protocol security (IPsec) connection security rules, network protection from attacks that employ network fingerprinting, [Windows Service Hardening](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=104976), and [boot time filters](https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/networking/2009/03/24/stopping-the-windows-authenticating-firewall-service-and-the-boot-time-policy/).

- Start menu can stop working
- Modern applications can fail to install or update
- Activation of Windows via phone fails
- Activation of Windows via phone fails
- Application or OS incompatibilities that depend on Windows Defender Firewall

If disabling Windows Defender Firewall is required, do not disable it by stopping the Windows Defender Firewall service (in the **Services** snap-in, the display name is Windows Defender Firewall and the service name is MpsSvc).
Stopping the Windows Defender Firewall service is not supported by Microsoft.
Non-Microsoft firewall software can programmatically disable only the parts of Windows Defender Firewall that need to be disabled for compatibility.
You should not disable the firewall yourself for this purpose.

Telnet is an application that does not provide encryption. This application can send data, such as names and passwords, over the network. This data can be intercepted by malicious users. If an administrator would like to allow the use of Telnet, but protect the traffic, a firewall rule that requires IPsec encryption can be created. This is necessary so that the administrator can be certain that when this application is used, all of the traffic sent or received by this port is encrypted. If IPsec fails to authorize the connection, no traffic is allowed from this application.
Authenticated bypass allows traffic from a specified trusted device or user to override firewall block rules. This is helpful when an administrator wants to use scanning servers to monitor and update devices without the need to use port-level exceptions. For more information, see [How to enable authenticated firewall bypass](http://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc753463(WS.10).aspx).

In this example, we assume that a blocking firewall rule exists. This example permits any network traffic on any port from any IP address to override the block rule, if the traffic is authenticated as originating from a device or user account that is a member of the specified device or user security group.
