Message   Sean Dennis    Shurato   Pro-active firewall?   August 6, 2024

Hello Shurato!

I have my pfSense box running on an old HP Elitedesk 705 desktop (3.4Ghz i5, 
8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, with dual PCIe Intel PRO/1000 NICs)...absolute overkill for 
a firewall but it's what I had laying around in spare parts.  Handles 
everything that gets thrown at it very nicely.

Like I said before, an edge firewall will not protect open ports.  You have to 
have a good firewall on the machine with open ports so it can protect itself.

Sean
