hello,<br />
I want to use my newly purchased FQDN &quot;mywebsite.com&quot; to point to my internal server. I have a sonicwall 2400, server 2008 and FQDN GoDaddy. I have tried using youtube, research google, shows hundreds of advanced to basic practices to create this &quot;Forward&quot;. any suggestions on how to get this going? I have spoke with two network certified admins and they said its as simple as opening a port for remote access to an internal pc. Ok, good, but I use a FQDN for that aswell :( I can get around firewall config (basic config), DNS Config (basic config). any tips or references would greatly be appreciated. thanks...

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware Firewalls

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.

Software Firewalls
