hardware firewall for small business

I need a hardware firewall that meets these specs: simple setup not too expensive (small business) allow for an allow list of URLs that employees can access...this list would be ~ 25 or less URLs allow for some workstations to have full access and bypass these filters. I would appreciate any suggestions to this.

Thanks in advance!

if you only need simple requirements like this then an integrated router/firewall would be best, what type of router do you currently have or what one does your isp provide you it will probably have a built-in firewall allowing you to do this.

Probably a linksys would be the best they are reliable and have a web gui for configuring.

Flamer.

Hi,

For less than 10 user go for ZyXEL ZyWALL 2 plus it will meet your needs. For less than 25 users go for ZyXEL ZyWALL 5 UTM where you can buy it with full UTM (Anti-virus, Anti-spam and content filtering) services if you like and have peace of mind, it's very stable products and come with VPN support also.

Panda,
