Review on πŸ”’ Enhanced Network Security with Fortinet FWF-30E FortiWiFi-30E VPN Firewall by Ken Cudal

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Powerful defense machine

I was very happy with this Fortwifi 30e. It has more features than I need as a home user. I used SSL checking and virus filtering with no noticeable lag when browsing the content. It's a pretty sophisticated firewall. The graphical user interface (GUI) got me up and running quickly, but I needed the command line interface (CLI) to fine-tune the firewall. documentation is sufficient. Fortigate has an official manual and cookbook. I didn't find some of the explanations in the manual that clear and had to look for help somewhere. The examples in the cookbook offered helpful tips but were not exhaustive. Luckily I was able to find most of the answers on the forums on the internet. I spent a whole week studying the documentation and playing around with the settings to make sure the firewall was set up correctly. I found Fortiwifi to be worth the money and effort.

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • Nothing
