Configuring Norton Firewall to work with VPN connection
Hi, I really hope someone can help
I have Norton Internet Security 2005 and have recently brought a VPN connection from www.vpngates.com so that I could have an IP address in the UK (British living in France)
I have just noticed using Shields Up at www.grc.com That while using that VPN connection that I have closed and even some open ports! Normally with just a connection with my ISP I am fully Stealthed.

Why is this?
How can I configure Norton?

Thanking you for you time and comments

In my Norton I can go to Client Firewall, 'configure' button, Advanced tab, 'General' button. There I can configure additional ports to block.
