Looking for a firewall appliance to stick before two dell servers that are going into a co-location data center.
Do you guys have any favorite FIREWALL appliances? I am looking at the CISCO PIX 501, because it seems to be the standard, but there are others that do virusscan, and malware scans at the hardware level before it enters the servers which caught my interest.

Do you recommend a software firewall when behind a hardware firewall?
All of our servers are behind Cisco ASA 5505 firewalls which we rent from Liquidweb. All are being managed correctly and setup to there optimal levels. With hardware firewalls firmly in place, do you still recommend a software firewall such as APF or IPTables (we're talking linux); in our opinion we see it as an extra administration overhead. If this is however untrue, we will change out thinking.
Please recommend a firewall
I need a firewall which could do the following:-
- Run in transparent mode
- With bandwidth control and reporting based on IP
- Intrusion detection and prevention
- Open source
I am trying Clark Connect but I could not make it to run on transparent mode, else this product is good enough for me.
Can anyone recommend a firewall to install on my VPS using CentOS5.3.
Please explain why should I choose it or what are its advantages.
And do firewalls make your VPS slower by consuming some resources?
Can anyone recommend an affordable antivirus hardware appliance that can be put in-line between a physical machine acting as a mail server and the switch? I need it only to filter on ONE machine so it would not have to be extremely fast. Spam filtering would be a plus as well. Any recommendations? I am looking for something plug and play.

my goal would be to use a vm based one for power "green" and backups/migration needs.

I'm getting a Gateway Server Appliance 5420.
512 MB RAM
2.0 GHz Celeron
40 GB HD
6 Ethernet Ports
LCD Front Display
and it's an appliance like the Cobalts but for security, however I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to just use it as a regular either windows headless server or linux server. Also does anyone know if it's possible to upgrade the processor? Maybe even a Xeon as I know all the other models come with Xeon Processors or do they actually use a seperate motherboard?
Does anyone have any experience to share concerning these devices?
I'm having some serious spam issues and would like to look into a better approach to preventing this than the typical SpamAssasin solution bundled with cPanel, Plesk and so on. SA seems rather inefficient, needs a lot of training, can get a lot of false positives, tends to break now and then, and so on.
Have any of you used either the Barracuda or the MailFoundry applicances, or even better - compared them first hand? Are there any similar solutions out there, perhaps cheaper/more cost effective in the long run?
$2000-3000+ for the hardware and around $500 a year for an anti-spam solution is a little steep in my opinion. Especially considering the old and cheap hardware for an example MailFoundry uses. How accurate they actually are in terms of false positives is also seemingly debated. MailFoundry promises a near 0 false positive rate, while some user-experiences suggest somewhere between 6-10% - which could represent an issue just as problematic as spam itself. Nobody wants to lose out on important email. To spend such an amount on a device and updates, it certainly needs to be worth it. Is it?
Are there any equally good or better software based solutions out there, that one could for an example use to set up a custom anti-spam server using existing hardware at the DC?
We are planing to implement a spam appliance like the mailfoundry for our 60 cpanel servers.
What is the best and easiest way to replace the standard cpanel mx entry in the dns zonefiles with our two new MX entries?
Additionaly we need to enable the option "Always accept mail locally even if the primary mx does not point to this server." for all the dnszonefiles where we use the new MX entries.
The problem is, that some customers are using already own mx entries, therefore we can not change all of them, but only the entries which point to the cpanel server.
Does someone have a script for this, or how would you change this?
I have a requirement to bring web-filtering inhouse on our own hardware.
This is to support up to 50 remote sites - I've looked at iron port / barracuda but Im not sure if it can do what is required.
I need each remote site to effectively have a seperate 'account' with the ability for each sites manager to see the traffic just for their site, create users for that site, specify site specific blocks / allows and also monitor which users are browsing which sites.
Does anyone know of a product or application that allows this sort of segmentation? I'm not a big fan of Surf Control (I don't believe it's able to deal with this sort of setup)
The other option is 1 appliance per remote site - but the costs associated with this are probably out of our budget for this project.
This one's an itnerestign one thats been bugging me for a while!
Google's mini search appliance:
[url]
hardware wise, it's just an out-dated supermicro's mini 1U setup (P8SCT in SC512L chassis, prescott 3G, 2G DDR2, 1x WD 250G) which can be easily upgraded to newer, greener configuration such as PDSMI+ or PDSBL-LN2 board with Conroe/Kentsfield CPU, 4G~8G RAM, even raptor 10k drive.
what do you guys think the market out there for this type of appliance? will updated hardware boots the performance by much?
We want to configure our PPA mail node to send all outbound mail through our spam filtering appliance but don't know where to start.
Reading standard Postfix docs give basic instructions on how to direct a handful of domains through a mail relay but we want to direct every outbound email from all domains through our spam filter.
We also want to ensure that any regular updates to the mail node won't break or undo this config.
I've found a dedicated server at a great price and plan to stick with it, my first ( already have 2 vps accounts ). I don't have the money for a hardware firewall. However, I do have a chance to renew a Kerio WinRoute Firewall license from way back.
Does anyone think this would be better than the default windows 2003 firewall?
Can anyone recomend a VPN in the UK I can use?
I will have a firewall/router on my end and vpn into the UK. I am not tech savvy and was told this was the setup I needed by who I thought i was going to be using.
I'm looking to purchase either vps or a dedicated server with cpanel/whm included in the price.
Must be uk based and have great uptime.
No real budget but obiouvsly i am looking for the best deal.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've been thinking about getting a dedicated server in the EU, as the UK is just to expensive to rent a dedicated server.
I've read reviews of the two hosts I found on the net (OVH and 1&1) and none were all that favourable. (Especially 1&1 heh)
anyone recommend some alternative EU providers? or perhaps any reasonable priced UK services?
I am currently on shared hosting (i will not mention who with) however since I have been with them my site has been down about 4 times. The good thing is my site hadnt launched it was just a placeholder page so nothing critical.
Due to the above issues, I think i might want to get a VPS, it is essential there is no downtime, its a new site and I dont want our reputation to suffer due to downtime.
Can you guys recommend a few providers? My requirements are as follows:
100 MB unmetered dedicated
750 G HD
8GB Ram
Linux
I looked at Iweb and Choopa, but I am trying to see if there are better, more economical, options out there.

I've been shoping around for a web server and found this one from freecom:

does anyone know of any other/better products out there? It needs to have LAMP or WAMP along with FTP, and firewall.
my max is 40$ . Pls recommed me a new seedbox , bigger HDD than leeware 's, unmeteread , allow torrenting and good speed certainly. Leeware 's speed is now not good
View 5 Replies View Relatedmy web is laschicasdelgordo.com.ar and have aprox 10 gb of bandwith for a day. the other problem is the speed.. in argentina have good speedy but in USA or SPAIN is very slowly. the thing is i dont have too much money for pay a dedicated server.. and in Argentina de hosting plans are very expensive and slowly.. but i dont know american hosting.
well.. i need this
1- accept adult content
2- price $30 -$ 50 for month
3- 500 or more bandwith
4- 256-512 ram
5- cpanel
6- 5 - 10 gb hard disk
7- celeron 2200 or more
OK, after investigating nearly 30 hosts over the last month we're in the final...
Telephone support was essential for me and both hosts have answered the phone instantly ever time I've rang them, no matter what time of day.
Both have packages with multiple-domain hosting.
Both have generally positive reviews in this and other forums and also on other review sites.
LunarPages has rave reviews like no other host in this category, but their price is significantly more for the multiple domain package:
Lunarpages: $25.50 - 4 GB storage - 200 GB bandwith
Midphase: $12 - 7 GB storage - 'Unlimited' bandwith
Both include a free domain.
Storage/bandwith llimits don't mean much to me because I know I will not fill them.
Was wondering what other people's experiences had been with these two hosts please?
after posting here at WHT ive really learnt much about overselling and cpu usage.
now with some questions again,
1GB space
around 50gb transfer
around $6 a month

very well established company that would never shut down like tomorrow.
just list the hosts down and let me consider them.
Looking for a windows dedicated server. At least dual core, 2gigs of ram, 10mb unmetered preferably and os xp/2003.
Content is racy, but not illegal. So need a host that can deal with that also.
Can anyone recommend a linux antivirus? I know such a thing isn't widely used however we'd like a way to scan attachments uploaded on a vbulletin forum to be scanned so other users don't get infected.
