In Reply to: Do you use a router ? which one ? posted by beppe61 on October 15, 2014 at 06:30:05:
Their internet appliances are, at the bottom of their range, routers combined with hardware/software firewalls. They have about a 100% market share of the Fortune 500 firewall market, which means: 1) their security is very good, but; 2) they are a huge target. Their stuff is expensive and can be a PITA to configure, but so far, at least, they work well. You can also configure them to really lock down what can go in or out. One feature is a weekly email summarizing traffic to/from your device, so you can see who/what tried to get in, and what outgoing connections were blocked. So, if you are paranoid (i.e. realistic) about the evil out there that will some day breach your defenses, put them on your list.
