Recommendation for HW or SW firewall
Hello experts,
I'd like to get a recommendation or an advice regarding the use of HW or SW firewall solution.
I have set up a web server on one of the computers on the local network. For example, IP address of this computer is 192.168.1.10.
On this LAN there are about 20 computers and all of them can have access to this particular web server computer (WSC) in a sense that each user can open web browser and type 192.168.1.10:8000 to open a web content with some information.
This WSC has two NICs and is connected to two different networks. It fetches data from one network and present it ot the other network (LAN) via web form. The only way computers on LAN 192.168.1.xxx can see the data should be to open a web page via http request.
Now I need a firewall to restrict any kind of access to this WSC computer except through http protocol. So I need that only 192.168.1.10:8000 can pass through, all other means of access should be blocked.
It would be ideal for me to buy some kind of simple HW device firewall and to put it between WSC computer and the rest of the LAN network. This device would let through only http request to this computer.
Of course if there are software solution, that can work also.
OS on all computers is Windows version is 10, 64 bit.
Thank you.
