Please provide an example of a 'hardware' firewall.
(Wirecutters, maybe?)

Well some people may not agree with me on this but a HARDWARE firewall is
always better than software based.
Because hardware does most of the work, they are typically faster and more
efficient and less prone to break-through's.
I have always thought of software based firewall's (Raptor,Checkpoint) as
very vulnerable due to the OS's they run on and the complexity in the
configuration leads to holes if you dont have a sharp engineer configuring
it.
But that's my opinion so please no flames at me =)
