Yes there were certainly a number of systems that wrapped Shorewall into a very nice application for a dedicated box. I was never enamoured with the idea of 'personal firewall' on each machine, since I'm a bit old school and agreed that the 'firewall as the networks response to poor host security', the quote some guru or other. But that was then, this is now; many individuals at their workstations are either idiot or had a passing bout of idiocy that opened them to an attack. They too need to be either isolated or given a 'personal firewall'. Then, too, there are the 'single machines on the net', users. So not I think differently. Professionally. But here I have a number of layers before getting to my host, and a lot of my processing isn't done on my host.
