Protect against malicious IP's(it can be from a BOT as well!) Report visibility is what that can give a clear picture of the type of threats blocked and prevented.

1. The kind of security has been given to the controller at such a less price is really stunning. 2. Can be used as controller, a processor and electronic device for smart processing - which makes me think that this may be the most versatile thing you can...
