I dont think firewall works and doesnt work making difference if its on dedicated or a VPS . Its your provider who is suppose to install and configure the firewall on your VPS

APF/BFD and CSF/LFD the best software firewalls for VPS or dedicateds linux servers

For windows VPS go for Visnetic firewall , a perfect firewall for windows environment

Virtual or Physical... There is no difference... Well that it if you are using VMware.

According to me Firewall is ok for normal sites in any server. If there is a e-commerce site some extra security needed because it transfer some important data like passwords, pin numbers,.. etc...

We have also used CSF/LFD without issue, it has worked just fine.

Make sure to run php as a cgi and prevent any 777 folders on the server. And keep a close eye on it. A VPS is a hands on product, it needs to be monitored, updated and secured.

Hey, that depends on the type of setting and configuaration you do, because it work well with Virtual Machines

Generally the OS that you choose on VPS(Windows or Linux) has a inbuilt firewall which can suffice on a VPS server. The hosting providers also use Software firewalls and Anti-viruses to ensure their servers from any outside attacks. And if you choose cPanel, it has its own firewall called as CSF which is also good to prevent your server.

Some firewalls had issues using monolithic kernels but almost all software firewalls out there have instructions for the particular OS you're running.

The two that I use daily are APF/BFD and CSF/LFD

These work without any issue on a VPS machine. These are software firewalls.

Like others have said openvz can be in issue depending on how the host configures the Host box.
