Firewall Options
There are primarily two types of Firewall Options. Hardware and Software. For our hardware option, we operate multiple TopLayer IPS's which do an excellent job at mitigation. It's a stateless connection type system that traffic will pass through. In our experience it's very effective to prevent specific traffic that has no business hitting your servers.
In our VPS/Dedicated Firewall group, we do only have certain ports open that are the common ones for serving web pages and email. If you need a non-standard port to be open, you will want us to move your VPS from behind our firewall port blocking group so that you can then enable Windows Firewall and manage the firewall via the Windows Software firewall.
