| | Firewalls FAQ |
| | Firewalls are no longer solely in the hands of those who design and implement security systems; even security-conscious end-users have them at home. | | | If your firewall architecture is a screened subnet, you have two packet filtering routers and a bastion host. | | | In other words, a firewall cannot replace security-consciousness on the part of your users. |

| | Distributed Firewalls |
| | Firewalls are sometimes described as incompatible with the modern network environment. | | | Conventional firewalls often have an edge here; the filtering code is complex and not generally available on host platforms. | | | With a distributed firewall, though, such spoofing is not possible; each host's identity is cryptographically assured. |
