I thought about which OS for some of the same things and I realized that I would rather go with a lab version of a full enterprise firewall.
A Palo Alto VM gets you pretty much most of the sweet PA features without the cost, and a better approach than an outdated strategy like VLAN as Access Control, or zone firewalling, permitting the use of permit/deny by protocol, and overall better privilege tiering by network area.
- EvanAnderson 5y ago> A Palo Alto VM ... without the cost ... Does Palo Alto have some kind of no-cost offering in their VM line?
- OrvalWintermute 5y ago> A Palo Alto VM ... without the cost ... This isn't free, but $50-200 is alot less than $2-4k
- EvanAnderson 5y agoYikes! I didn't realize PA had anything available for less than a 4 digit price point. I'll check it out. Thanks!
- todd8 5y agoI’m curious about PA firewalls. The product descriptions claim “Machine Learning” based routing/firewalls. What does that even mean? I’m a bit skeptical about AI being used in a firewall. Can someone help me understand why I should consider this instead of running pfsense on a Netgate appliance?
