And it does not need a power supply? Runs on rechargeable battery?
Well most hotels or coffee shops have an outlet you can plug into. If your in your car you can use a 12V power inverter.
Car is a possibility.
In some parts of the world there is no power outlet available. Just imagine someone working for - let’s say charity - in slums, underdeveloped rural areas, etc.
I’ll stick to my idea that if there’s no other choice, a strong software firewall, fine tuned if needed, should be able to handle inbound connections properly and prevent intrusions, may be lukor should post something here, I’ll mail him.
I do not have the portable unit they sell CTR35 but the website says they have a car power plug adapter(not sure if that is what you call it) and it comes with a ac adapter. I have the home model MBR900. Check the website http://www.cradlepoint.com/
I looked at the website and only found one model that was battery powered the PHS300 but it is a hotspot and could not find if it had a firewall. So you would have to use another model and the car power adapter.
I agree.
If you must stick with a software firewall then your best bet is Comodo.
Well I find Outpost in many ways ahead to comodo. And how can comodo help me if a 21 years old boy from Iran hacked into its system and generated 4-5 Security Certificates ??
Nothing can stop an experienced hacker. But a hardware firewall is a must if you can get one. Comodo is also the most configurable 3rd party firewall around.
