Firewall
Blue Box Firewall is a NG UTM firewall. It combines all the leading forms of protection found in top security appliances to create a comprehensive security network. Computer and router firewalls use basic filtering rules to say “yes” or “no” to data; regardless of it’s composition. Malicious data hiding on safe sites or disguising itself will pass right through to your devices.
Next Generation (NG) Firewalls use Deep Packet Inspection and Intrusion Prevention to do advanced filtering of the data leaving and entering the data. Rather than block information by it’s source or destination, these new firewalls analyze the actual data – comparing it to a database of malicious data to see if it matches. This blocks threats that hide inside of safe websites or mask their appearance to try to infect your devices.
Blue Box Firewall is a Unified Threat Management (UTM) device. It scans all the data entering and leaving your network. It analyzes websites you visit based on their category and cross-references them with a list of known malicious sites. Any attempts to penetrate your network are detection by our Intrusion Prevention System (IPS). The system is constantly updated throughout the day – ensuring even the newest threats are stopped dead in their tracks.
WiFi
In fact, it’s both. Blue Box Firewall combines top Firewall and Wireless hardware to give you comprehensive network security at industry-leading wireless speeds.
Blue Box Firewall has 4×4 MIMO technology – giving you 8 channels of wireless traffic shared across four antennas. This means each antenna can transmit and receive data at the same time. This results in faster WiFi speeds and less congestion for all your devices.
Blue Box Firewall supports 2.4GHz and 5GHz channels. 5GHz channels are faster, but do waves penetrate less and travel farther when compared to the 2.4GHz channel. We offer both to provide you a tailored WiFi experience.
Web Filter
Other parental controls are “all or nothing”. Blue Box Firewall is the only parental control system in the world that lets you define a filtering level for each user/device on the network.
You bet. Blue Box Firewall uses machine learning to analyze websites in real-time. In the time it takes to load a website Blue Box Firewall analyzes the page, categorizes it, and applies filtering rules to it. We like to think smarter, not harder.
Not at all. The Blue Box Firewall Web Filter lets you set filtering schedules and even temporarily pause the internet for both your individual users and the entire network.
VPN
A VPN, also known as a Virtual Private Network, allows your devices to access the internet by first connecting to your Blue Box Firewall using SSL encryption. This secure connection gives you the same protection you have at home, anywhere in the world.
A VPN protects your data using encryption. Encryptions scrambles up your data into an unreadable format; even if it were stolen it would be impossible to turn it back into something legible. This means all your personal information travels in a secure format from your device to your intended destination.
When you turn on Blue Box Firewall, the VPN is already set up. All you need to do is download OpenVPN, go to the Blue Box Firewall web app, and download the VPN configuration profile. This profile will connect you automatically to the VPN – hassle free.
