Firewalls

An Internet firewall helps protect a computer network or a single machine from hackers. Implemented in either software (as with Windows XP) or Hardware (as in the NAT Router below), or a combination of both, it is becoming increasingly more indispensable to protect your PC(s) from unauthorized outside access or compromise. While there are still many other considerations for completely securing your PC, one of the best starting points is the hardware based firewall router illustrated below.

The Best Hardware Based Firewall: the NAT Router

• Most secure solution for DSL/Cable Internet Connections

• Provides internet and internal networking functionality

• Allows multiple PCs to use one DSL/Cable account with no additional ISP charges

• Wired/Wireless or mixed configurations

• Inexpensive - Usually $40.00 - $100.00 (small networks)

• Generally easy to plug in and configure for internet access

• Less administration and maintenance than software based firewalls

• Often allows flexibility for increased outbound access, or inbound blocking of unauthorized or undesirable sites
