Re: SPI firewall?
Get one with SPI.
It's a higher level of packet monitoring than just is it a returning packet.
[snip]
"The firewall looks at the source and destination IP addresses, the source and destination ports and the sequence numbers to decide if the packet belongs to a current open connection. If there is a connection open that applies to the packet that has arrived from the Internet then it will be allowed through, otherwise it will be rejected."
