G+_Jason Williams Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Hi folks! I have been tasked with finding a budget friendly hardware based firewall solution for a building that houses 2 business that share one internet connection. I know very little about these so I have outlined what I think would be pertinent information below. Businesses have about 6-10 employees combined all running Windows OS, 1 Windows Server 2012 used as the accounting/inventory file server, 1 Linksys wireless router (would be open to removing if the firewall had wireless) and an unmanaged gigabit switch. If more information is needed to help find the right solution let me know. Thanks, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Perhaps the SonicWALL SOHO. http://www.sonicwall.com/us/en/products/TZsoho.html#tab=specifications It'll do IPS/IDS and SPI. Can host 10 simultaneous VPN tunnels. (comes with lic for 1) The Dell/SonicWALL security service is also pretty darn good at making sure you're covered for future threats.

G+_Joe K Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I'd recommend the ITUS Shield... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Joe K Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 For such a small, simple network. Especially with your lack of intimate knowledge on the subject. I'd go with user friendly and simple over complicated and overpriced with features you are unlikely to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
