- web-proxy service: only allows web traffic
- firewall service-proxy: any TCP/UDP traffic from clients, proxied by ISA server
- firewall service-routing: passes packets between the internet and clients
- Packet Filter (Off) IP Routing (Off): ISA can proxy for clients, no protection for ISA server, only used on leased lines
- Packet Filter (On) IP Routing (Off): Most common if external access is not required
- Packet Filter (On) IP Routing (On): DMZ network
- Packet Filter (Off) IP Routing (On): Not recommended, routing between networks without security, built-in doesn’t need ISA server.
