What is a Firebox?
A WatchGuard Firebox is a specially designed and optimized security
appliance. Three independent network interfaces allow you to separate
your protected office network from the Internet while providing an
optional public interface for hosting Web, email, or FTP servers. Each
network interface is independently monitored and visually displayed on
the front of the Firebox.
