[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 58943, post: 717970"] Err.. A huge percentage use IP based communication precisely so they can bypass DNS protection and increasing their survivability in the wild. This is why most UTM's have settings to block 'IP Only Requests', it's actually precisely why. Also, DNS filtration relies strictly on KNOWN entities, UTM's do not rely on this for all of their technologies. For example many UTM's are now blocking 'Newly created domains' and 'Newly seen domains', which both are designed to protect you from ATP threats, ransomware, and zero day outbreaks. Add to that the flow inspection, traffic heuristics, sandboxing and other ATP units it's pretty exciting. But granted, MOST people here wouldn't even be able to setup or configure the SOHO appliances. The good news is - the dozens of home-ready UTM's coming out require almost no knowledge to work effectively. We're in an exciting, huge transition period.. Router--->Firewall and now UTM. The product matrix is exciting and we're even seeing home units with Rogue AP Detection/Suppression. All of this is driven by real need for security in the home and the understanding that a simple router isn't sufficient in the modern age. [/QUOTE]
