NetPilot Advanced Firewall

We offer two firewall options: the standard firewall and a the advanced firewall, all models now come with both options. The standard firewall offers excellent security that is powerful, yet easy to administer. The advanced firewall is for those with the technical knowledge that want to construct more detailed rule sets.

The advanced firewall uses powerful stateful packet inspection techniques. To provide the best security, a firewall must track and control the flow of communications. Unlike rudimentary packet filters that are found in cheap personal firewall products, NetPilot's stateful inspection analyses information flow into and out of a network so that security decisions can be made in real time. It accomplishes this by tracking the state and context of all communications traversing the firewall, even when the connection involves complex protocols.

The advanced firewall also offers the flexibility to allocate particular services and define protocol attributes to particular physical ports. In this fashion, multiple WAN, LAN, DMZ and other ports can be configured.

NetPilot firewalls have undergone rigorous independent testing from West Coast Labs and have been awarded Checkmark accreditation.
