    Post What firewall solution if any, do you use @home/work?

    What are your preferences as to firewire hardware/software. Really what I'm asking is what have you had good success with for medium (20-150 user NT NW)? I'm looking for a client solution that will be as painless as possible for them, they have NO admin! And what do you use at home? I know no solution is 100% penetration proof, except for unplugging the modem/router!We use a SOHO box on a server with a custom script.

    I use and recomend Zone Alarm. Its free and so far I have found it to be very secure and simple for those who don't know alot about firewall's.

    Thanks,I've looked into those both already, my client uses some voice over IP apps, RAS and PC-Anywhere and its been a bear to configure with ZA and BID.The client is connecting via cable and I'm looking maybe at the SOHO Watchguard series box and a smallish Linksys router? I figure we can configure it and hopefully let it run itself (LOL). Comments? Ideas? Smart Remarks?
