Re: Firewall opinions wanted please - clarification

[Brandon Shiers]

Sonicwall makes a great product that can run in STANDARD (Proxy) mode. 
Their prices are pretty good as well, espicially if you buy them 
through a reseller.  We deploy many of these firewalls every year and 
they are great!

Thanks,

Brandon
