The WatchGuard Firebox Virtual Appliance range is currently made up of 4 models.  The table below highlights the main features of each model.

* Throughput rates will vary based on environment & configuration.

Your firewall is nothing without a live and updating subscription.  Viruses, Malware and network threats, change almost hourly.  Purchasing a security subscription means that your firewall will always be receiving the latest threat signatures, virus protection updates and filter block lists.

The best bit is that an active security subscription also gives you free firmware updates, technical support from WatchGuard and hardware warranty for the duration of the subscription.

Never view a security subscription like the warranty for a car.   It is not there just in case something goes wrong, it is actually needed to make sure nothing goes wrong.  You are only truly being protected if your firewall is auto updating and has an active subscription.

A VPN enables secure, encrypted connections between networks and devices at geographically separated locations.
