    Quite a good article here: bobcares.com/blog/hardware-vs-software-firewall-a-brief-comparison/ that might help you decide. Personally, I find the tools that come supplied with cPanel combined with CSF are normally sufficient to keep your server safe (unless you are hosting something contentious or compelling to hackers) The resources that a software firewall might consume will depend heavily on the server traffic. You must appraise that yourself since you should know what amount of traffic you get, and what your available resources are.

    Thanks for the great info. The issue with the hardware firewall to me is administration. I try to manually allow clients access via FTP and CPanel and then leave web and email ports open. While this works well it is hard to Maintain with dynamic IPs constantly changing.

    hi @bgarrant Beyond the advice provided by @rpvw I'd suggest enlisting a system/network administrator to assist with a solution that works with your needs specifically. If you don't have one you might find one here: System Administration Services | cPanel Forums. Thanks!
