That's not protection, that's literally the opposite of protection lol. If you get attacked they take your service out the back and shoot it in the head.

Edit: To clarify, filter = protection. Preventing all traffic is not. Both were stated in the description above so they should be clear which one it is.

Heh, that reminds me of my first bank account. They told me I had something called "overdraft protection", which I stupidly assumed would protect me from overdrafting my account by declining transactions.

Then I forgot to deposit a check at one point and overdrafted my account. I assumed things were fine because none of my transactions were getting declined. Instead I was being charged an extra $15 fee on every transaction, so that $0.75 stick of gum? $15.75, etc. This went on for about three weeks before I got my statement and talked to my bank.

They informed me that in fact the protection was from my transactions from being declined, at the paltry expense of $15 per transaction.

This is why the CEO of TCF Bank named his yacht Overdraft.

And here I am laughing at this pretty clever joke only to realize this is real..
