[QUOTE="valvaris, post: 906774, member: 38787"] The Thing is with Application Firewalls on PC Systems there is that issue that they start to protect when you login to windows. Some other Application Firewall can start when Windows Boot but that requires them to install a Service and/or a Protocol Driver. Next thing is to what approach do you want the Firewall to take: Default Deny = As the Name states It blocks all Traffic and only allows specific Traffic to pass OR Explicit Drop Rules = Known Malware / CVE / misc. - IP / Protocol / Ports that need to be blocked As for my Infrastructure I have a Open Hardware Appliance with Pfsense (Open-Source) Running. So as stated above my concept is to use a Default Deny approach and only allow Traffic that I want from specific devices or network to run. Plus as a added bonus a Software Firewall for Application / Destination / Port analytics. Like a Onion Multilayer approach for security / Segmentation - IoT - LAN - WiFi - Kids of course this will break the scope of this topic. But as a advice there are very cool posts here at MalwareTips that inspire on how to secure the home network and get a little help as well. Sincerely Val. [/QUOTE]
