Hello all,
I have been reading about this Linksys product that provides limited
firewall functionality and routing for a four-node private network. I am not
sure if this product can offer good security for a casual home network. I
have not seen a detailed specifications list or documentation for this
product. The only thing I know about this product is that it uses NAT which
does not make it a firewall. What kind of interface is there for configuring
this device? Does this device support VPN connections through a Checkpoint
or other IPSEC firewall? I am thinking that you would also need to load
software based protection on the internal workstations to provide for a
better level of security. How is this product at resisting SYN floods, UDP
and TCP scans and traceroute mapping of the internal private network? Does
anyone have any feedback here?
TIA,
Lance
