Are hardware firewalls vastly superior to zone alarm etc. Been reading about hackers and new crap they develope. Want nooooo problems. Any suggestions for hardware firewall? tia
I have a hardware firewall which is an old 486 machine. I run Smoothwall which is a linux based program. It stays up for over 100 days without a reboot. Hardware firewalls are superior to software firewalls and are a lot less hassle to maintain once you have one running. Given that old machines cost no more than 50 bucks, their is no real logic in running a software product if you want good protection. Runningbear
