ConfusedI realy wouldn't trust such a thing to be open to the Internet... might be ok behind a NAT router... but the only thing stopping a flood of misc internet trafic... I think not... ISA is really good, and quite fun. A lot of large companies as well as the government use it. What it works well at is intergrating with all of Microsofts other products and in large situations. For home use it is impractical, and not just because of its cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metatron Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 I was recently given a Nokia IP 560 and if you can afford it, it’s one of the best firewalls money can buy, it’s designed for large businesses and features Firewall protection, DHCP support, VPN, BOOTP support, ARP support, DiffServ support, IPv6 support and has Gigabit Ethernet. One of the best things about it is that it supports 58,000 connections per second and delivers over 6 Gbps of firewall throughput and 1.9 Gbps throughput of encrypted traffic for VPN data.

Confuzed Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I vote for smoothwall (which I have). I'd post my IP, but my IDS is down right now so I might later. @GHRYGGZ: Ditch the software firewalls, find an old computer and set-up a smoothwall, its easy and effective. www.smoothwall.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
