server matrix and the firewalls?
hey people
looking to get a dedicated server from these guys since they seem pretty good but anways
i want my server to be secure but i dont want to waste my money
so i was wondering if anyone has any experience this there firewalls and what they can do with them
ive looked them up on google and just keep seeing information about vpn and dhcp and not much for firewall so wondering wehter it was woth the extra $99/$149 pm
im going to be using one server on it with multple ip addresses.
thanks

It's way too pricey for the average person (I'm paying $50/month) and would reccomend a software based firewall for most.

on the same topic, does anyone have any experience with floodguard? does it actually work? I have read on sm forums that does nothing.
so basically my question is, as anyone tried to flood a server and see if floodguard stopped it?

i want to know because surely if theres a storm on a server its got to go through the network to get to the server surely that would slow down the network causing everything else to go down? i dunno i maybe wrong
