This Linux computer on a USB stick acts as a tiny mobile firewall.
A hardware-based firewall solution offers several advantages over a simple personal firewall application. In theory, a hardware firewall can prevent dangerous packets from even reaching the system it is protecting, keeping threats safely at arm’s length. An outside firewall device also assumes the performance cost of protecting the system, using its own CPU cycles for packet filtering so the user system is free for user tasks.
