Yes, you would.  It's "standard practice" to have an edge firewall and then a firewall on the machine with open
ports to protect only the open ports.

Windows is horrible for security--always has been--and you will pull your hair out trying to get what you need
done under Windows.  I spent the better part of 35 years dealing with Windows professionally and I'm glad I
don't have to do it anymore.

I wish you luck and good hunting on the Web to find a solution to your issues using a single Windows-only
solution.

Have you talked to rob, et al. about this?
