Hopefully I don't offend anyone, but buying a business class FW with an annual license is overkill and really only for IT managers. For protecting Dave's home network, a Raspi with openSUSE and iptables will suffice. Dave said he has ADSL, so no more than 100Mbit/s downlink which the Raspi (or similar) will easily handle. For comparison, think of what kind of CPU might be sat in the ADSL modem.
I wonder if there is some suitable hardware out there that can run openWrt software easily. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenWrt> A router based on that would get updates and is easy to configure and maintain. <https://openwrt.org/toh/buyerguide> -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
