$282.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.nextag.com
purchasing this appliance would be the right choice if you are concerned about your network security.
from www.newegg.com
do not buy this product if you are not a network technician as, yes, it requires you to know what you are doing before you can use it.

i purchased my firewall from a local business specializing in business-networking.
from www.amazon.com
it is a device that allows you to control almost every part of your network traffic.
from www.newegg.com
they do take a little getting used to, and the ipsec's can be a little interesting if you are not familiar with this aspect of wan networking.

from www.mwave.com
(edited february 09th by homeuser) i am not an it person and therefore i need something that takes the burden of protecting my home family network of three computers off of me!
from www.nextag.com
having 6 pc's in my home, i was desperately looking to find a network anti-virus/security program that did not have to be installed and set-up on each and every machine.
from www.amazon.com
you can't just plug it in accept the defaults and expect it to work perfectly you have to tweak (especially the firewall) the settings, because everybody's home network setup is different.
from www.amazon.com
funny thing is it took me longer to uninstall all of the software i had installed on one computer then it took me to set up all the computers on my network.
from www.amazon.com
it really has made my life easy regarding the managing of my little 3 pc home network.

NetGear ProSafe FVS338 FVS338NA

$199.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.newegg.com
great for small networks.cons: the vpn software should be free.
from www.newegg.com
initial network set up of the fvs338 was easy.
from www.newegg.com
(i only need 2.) fvs338 has enough features for a networking novice (such as myself) to get up and running without the need for any documentation.
from www.newegg.com
but beware, you must be very well versed with networking if you attempt the more advanced features.

it isolates the internet from your internal network.

NetGear FVS114 FVS114NA

$87.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
so in december 2007 i removed it from my network.
from www.amazon.com
this firewall was configured for a home office network (both mac and windows based systems) along with a router and dsl modem.
from www.amazon.com
i purchased a second one to create a 'safe' zone for my wireless networks (on the inside of one firewall and outside of the other).
from www.amazon.com
so, i would recommend this firewall for your network or home computer.
from bvrev.compusa.com
we upgraded the software to play better with the fvs318's and pow, they fvs114's need constant reboots on all networks.
