Even more important, a hardware firewall can't be compromised as easily by malware that's on a host behind the firewall. It's easy for a program on a PC to tell ZA to look the other way. It's a little harder for it to tell a hardware firewall to look the other way. Unless of course, the firewall implements the UPnP "Pants Down!" RPC.. ;)
