Hi,
I have currently have 2PCs directly connected to a Netgear Firewall Broadband router (at home). It works now.
But, I would like to have a dedicated firewall/Proxy PC.
I am thinking of the below architecture:
Internet----cable Modem---Netgear hardware firewall router---dedicated Firewall PC-----HUB----LAN (2PCs)
What would be the main advantages of having a dedicated firewall PC considering I already have a router with firewall capabilities.
Which firewall/proxy software could I install?
Thanks in advance,
Kev
