Recently a collegue of mine got one of these(small SOHO2 10 user w/o VPN)
for his home LAN. It was a breeze to setup and simple to configure. I have
seen a few posts on packetstorm detailing DOS attacks against it and the
fixes were soon coming out.
My question is this: How good are these things in protecting home and small
business equipment? It doesn't compare to a PIX or the larger SonicWalls
except for some of the stateful inspection it does on it. Are there any
other hardware firewalls out there that compare to this one and if so please
supply a link to it for ease of use.
Only requirements are this:
1. Hardware firewall minimum 1 LAN 1 WAN 10/100 ethernet
2. Stateful Inspection
3. Under $500
4. No linux box solution please. Must be "simple" to setup. I don't mind
configuring tcp/ip address' or playing with ports but I don't want to have
to buy another mobo, cpu, mem to build a computer with( yes I can here those
people screaming for a small 486/PPro to do this, but not on this case).
