Let everyone use two firewalls!!!??
All of us in independent IT support will then be earning much more money. To begin with, the average user will find troubleshooting impossible with two firewalls, after all, the traditional route begins with:
First turn off your firewall. Have you got internet access now? Can you ping....?

Poor advice to suggest people use two firewalls, even one can interfere with Windows, Symantec antivirus, etc.
I take this to have been a slip of the tongue.
