Jon-NC · 3rd May 2005

Hi,

We are in the process of planning a re-image of our server with the possibility of putting a hardware firewall on. However we would rather just use the software firewall included in plesk as this will reduce costs and if we have an external box it is another point of failure.

So will the plesk firewall be good enough to stop unwanted traffic? Or will I be better off investing in a hardware firewall.

Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Jon
