Re:Not really a hardware firewall (Score 1)

Hi Pete: some light to shed on why Yoggie provides more security: First, it is routing the traffic to Yoggie *before* it leaves the Windows NDIS, meaning before it gets to TCP/IP (see my posting 20 minutes ago with details). The traffic is rerouted to Yoggie on USB 2.0 (up to 480Mbps) with effective 425Mbps. Yoggie is the computer that handling the security by running: Firewall, NAT (yes - it hides the IP address of the external world from the internal - something *no software firewall is doing or capable doing*), hides IP and MAC, DHCP, running SNORT (with VRT soon and with IPS active!!!), runs 4 proxies (HTTP, FTP, SMTP and POP3), unzipping compressed files!, and send atom files to Anti Virus, Anti Spyware, Anti SPAM and Phishing (having one "leg" on HTTP and one on SMTP.POP3 allows unique capabilities here), URL Cat and parental control (using SurfControl) Layer 8 security (see my posting 35 mins ago) and unique MLA (i will post later details on this unique module). Now the clean and screened content returns to NDIS. Should hacker try to attack your PC, the attack lands on Yoggie PICO and not on your PC! Why the Yoggie don't care much - as it has a special shield that other PC don't have: To stop the Pico itself becoming infected, the operating system is contained on two Flash memories. Flash A contains the operating system. When the device is booted, a clean copy of the operating system is transferred to Flash B, and access to Flash A is disabled. The security applications then run on Flash B, which is wiped when the device is turned off. If you have any more questions, please ask, Cheers.
