[QUOTE="HarborFront, post: 704463, member: 55987"] A Smart Firewall is a hardware device use for protecting your home IoT devices e.g. smart tv, smart fridge, smart IP cameras, smart window/door sensors, smart door lock, smart door bell, smart smoke detector/alarm, smart watch, smart lights, connected hub etc. Of course you can have it to protect your PC, laptop, tablet etc as well If you have a high-end router that comes with IoT protection built-in then there's no need to have a Smart Firewall. They can be found here [URL='http://windowsreport.com/firewall-device-for-home/']The 15 best firewall devices to protect your home network[/URL] [URL='https://www.ireviews.com/comparisons/5-best-home-firewalls-2017']5 Best Home Firewalls 2017 | iReviews[/URL] Missing from the lists is the Norton Core. Generally, 1) they protect your IoT devices by connecting to their company's cloud with proprietary technology for threat analyzing, use of machine learning technology and behavioral analysis 2) they use subscription based service especially after the free first year for protection and monitoring services. RATtrap and CUJO are subscription-free 3) they are not meant to replace your existing router but some (like Norton Core and F-Secure SENSE) promote themselves as such. The router features are of mid-range and cannot compare to top-of-line competitor routers 4) their cloud AV/AM protection is questionable unless they belong to the top AV/AM companies like BitDefender, Norton etc The eBlocker Pro deserves a separate mention. It is a unique device (not a smart firewall) that provides secure privacy protection....something not found even in high-end routers with IoT protection [URL='https://www.eblocker.com/en/products-eblocker/']Products - eBlocker.com[/URL] Are you using any of such Smart Firewall to protect your home IoT devices?
