  Abstract

The Internet is a very convenient network, but not always a safe place. So, many organizations often require administrative security policies when they want to connect with other organizations through a public network. A firewall is one way of protecting an internal network from the untrusted external network with a mechanism for selectively permitting of blocking traffic between the internal network and the external network. The firewall also provides some limited Internet access such as Ftp, Telnet, etc. Usually, through a firewall system, X applications running on the external network may not access an X display on the internal network. Thus, X applications running on the external network are not supported through the usual firewall. In this paper, we propose a method of supporting X application programs effectively through the firewall, overcoming the restriction.
