We have used Moxa in the past, they work fine:

If you really want an industrial firewall made to inspect industrial protocols I would recommend Tofino https://www.tofinosecurity.com/sales/tofino-hirschmann

Most other firewalls are just routers beginning to sprout a little chest hair and most have Simple DMZ and ACL functions with SPI capability which your home linksys router can do. The industrial is in a more rugged case but it's what's under the hood that counts.

On anything you really care about keeping secure make sure the firewall you choose can do DPI Deep Packet Inspection and can handle the inspection of traffic from an industrial protocol which is different from TCP /IP protocol.

This works well for us:http://www.guardsite.com/Firebox-T10.asp.

Thanks all for your recommendation. sent query to supports. OPC use each time in dynamic port (XXXX~XXXX) that make firewall unfriendly. i have concern of speed too when use firewall.
