Whatever happened to the useful ones?

from here and here

One the plus side, I do get fewer useless alerts than I used to, but the useless ones still outnumber the useful ones by a wide margin. I don't even remember the last time I got a useful one. These days it's usually Windows telling me the firewall is disabled when it's perfectly fine.

Maybe I don't see useful alerts because the attacks never reach the computer with the firewall software in the first place. Maybe NAT-enabled routers were all most of us ever really needed.

Like a firewall for your store

"But how do you let legitimate traffic through?"

See how much like a firewall it is?

It's probably not actually burglar-proof, though. I'm fairly certain the Koolaid Man could get through.

Your Ports Were Open sticker

Product Page

If you've got a firewall then hopefully you don't have any open ports. Hopefully.

I hope they never have to replace any hardware. I'm not sure how they'd get it out.

It's gonna be YUGE

from here and here

It's hard not to come away from the "Clean Networks" idea and not think they're talking about some kind of firewall (though probably more like the Great Firewall of China than anything you can get at Best Buy), and with the demand for a transaction fee to allow China to comply with the other demands it's easy to make the association with Trump's past election promise of a border wall that Mexico would pay for.

Keep Calm And Firewalls On hat

Product Page

Yes, there are still people who will turn off their firewall to make things work. We don't even talk about firewalls much anymore but ordinary people need to know that it's important to keep them turned on.

When your security needs complete covfefe

found on Better Meme

As a general rule, firewalls do not stop viruses. They may block certain types of network worms, which are considered by some to be part of the viral set, but there's still plenty of viral malware outside the scope of what firewalls do.

Some things just don't follow the rules

found on I Can Has Cheezburger

Don't be too proud of the technological marvel you've constructed in your firewall rules. The ability to block a packet is insignificant next the power of the fire.
