Firewalls on VPNs - Best Practice Advice

Hi,
I'm running Windows XP SP2 with the Windows Firewall turned "on" as default
for all connections.
I use the PC for connecting to various remote networks via VPN. Having
previously been advised (http://tinyurl.com/cej6f) that Firewalling VPN
connections is not recommended, I've turned off Windows Firewall
specifically for these VPN connections in the
My question regards the fact that whenever I connect to a network via VPN,
that Windows Security Centre "warns" me that the connection is not
firewalled. What would be the best practice to stop this behaviour? Turing
off warnings altogether (i.e. "I have a Firewall Solution I'll monitor
myself" tick-box within Security Centre) is not preferred as I would like to
continue being warned if my Firewall has been turned off for LAN or Wi-Fi
connections, but not for VPN connections.
Any advice much appreciated.
Regards,
Richard Tubb.
