I'm looking for a hardware firewall for a pretty odd situation
The network is just 1 computer, directly connected to the internet in a Datacenter, there is no real "network" to protect, i just want to switch from server <=> internet to server <=> firewall <=> internet.
I do not want to use any Advanced features, i want "just" a firewall, as simple as it gets, the only rules i want to add are restrictions on port (simply drop all traffic on all ports except a few i would specify) and ip restriction (restrict one of the ports to a single IP).
I do need enterprise grade quality, it needs to handle a lot of concurrent connections and is on a up to 3GB/s internet line
Even if it can do what i do while doing more, i'd rather go with the least featured solid firewall that fits my need to reduce the surface of attack, even on the firewall itself.
So basically, must handle 10gbits ports (that will be used up to 3gbit at most) must support raw droping packet on all ports i don't want to use easily (most ports), must handle a lot of concurrent connections.
