New Sonicwall TZ150 = better/faster Team Fortress 2!
I just replaced the Linux firewall I was using with a small Sonicwall TZ150. It’s their low-end SOHO model but has a nice management interface and offers some of the features of the more expensive models. A very nice surprise: latency (i.e. ping time) in Team Fortress 2 is substantially less than it was before. Looks like the Linux box wasn’t nearly as quick at passing traffic. So a tip to any online gamers: upgrade your firewall and reduce your ping time.
