[ale] Firewall convo

[Jerald Sheets]

The parameters are that I need an appliance-sized device that will go in a small cabinet.  A “Linux PC” is out of the question.  This is a specific query in regards to hardware appliances, and the smaller the better.

I’m looking at the Firewalla Blue and it looks like what I need, and I was wondering if a) anyone had used it and what their thoughts are, and b) if not, any other tiny firewalls you may have used that would fit that specific size requirement.


Sorry for the specificity, but of anyone I would trust this list to steer me right.
