    UTM device for home network security

    Dumb (perhaps) question. How do things like ASUS AIProtection, Bitdefender Box, Cujo and other "dumbed-down" boxes compare? I'm especially interested in ASUS AIProtection (Trend Micro) - which apparently does deep-packet inspection. Untangle or pfsense/snort seem useful, but I'm getting older...

    Sorry for the newbie question, but I always butt-u-med that NAT "security by obscurity" was sufficient for my needs... ...while I have my router "locked-down" per the checks under AIProtection (all green), I've noticed that I'm getting external "hits" almost daily, from a MAC address I don't...
