Re: Ditched SOHO kit
Agree. Running pfSense on a controller here with Snort and PfBlockerNG also installed. It is just ahead of my router. Such an external firewall is a good practice these days.

The way I control Windows is through the use of an external pfSense/OpenBSD firewall. The firewall also runs pfBlockerNG and Snort. I think using the pfBlockerNG Windows block list isolate your computer from Window slurps. It probably can block updates also. How selective you can be on updates I don't know. An external firewall is probably the only way you can gain control of the Windows beast. This is fairly complex to setup, so the masses are probably out of luck.
