What was your first firewall?
summary
First firewall story: Check Point on Sun Solaris installed by hand in the '90s, with a bulky centralized management platform that ran on a Solaris box and required significant infrastructure expertise. Today that role moves to cloud-based management like F5 Distributed Cloud, where the vendor runs the backend, deployments are quick, and operators only change configurations. The shift cuts weeks of setup work and removes the need to maintain specialized Unix servers.
