An appliance will only keep your site active while blocking the threat. The main point here is the bandwidth used. Even though you may be blocking them, the traffic coming to your appliance still goes over your pipe (aka, still being charged for it). The only thing an appliance would be good for (NOTE: in THIS situation) would be to just drop the traffic. That way you are only sending data over your pipe once (in, but not out). Hence, only have to pay half the price it would have cost you.

The OP's intent, unless I'm mistaken, is to require licensing for running a computer on the internet, otherwise all you can use to browse or access is an internet appliance.
