In 2022, I upgraded to the fastest residential broadband available -- 2 Gbps fiber. As we approach the end of 2024, internet service providers (ISPs) are pushing the limits, offering speeds up to a staggering 10,000 Mbps (10 Gbps). Fiber internet remains the gold standard for speed and reliability in the US, with top providers offering ultra-fast plans.
High speeds are crucial if you work with large data volumes, like video editors, 3D modelers, and organizations using Generative AI that need fast data transfer at the edge of their networks. Many of these users also require fast, reliable VPN connections.
Standard broadband gateway devices from ISPs usually include simple NAT routers with basic rules but lack advanced packet processing, VPN management, and threat detection. For users with high-speed broadband, a dedicated hardware firewall is essential.
Enter Firewalla, a company founded by former Cisco engineers. Firewalla aims to make unified threat management accessible for small and home offices and remote professionals. Its products offer high-speed firewall solutions that are both user-friendly and cost-effective.
