As a newbie to the firewalling arena I'm trying to make an informed decision
as to what firewall to install in 2 scenarios.
The first is a web server sat on the Internet and the second is a firewall
to guard our internal network when we connect to the Internet via a leased
line.
I naively thought that there would be a concensus of opinion as to the
preferred option, be it a particular product or technology Proxying or
packet filtering. One firewall vendor told me it was pointless having a
firewall to guard my web server !
The licencing was also confusing as for a web server supposedly I needed a
unlimited licence but if I brought the server on site using the leased line
the firewall would only need to have as many licences as computers on my
internal network.
Any information greatfully received
