Firewalls are often framed as a one job tool. Furthermore, when looking to set up a secure network infrastructure, this Debian Admin says that sometimes they aren't aren't even needed!
To the contrary, Firewalls can be engineered to serve a number of purposes such as fragment reassembly for instance (as the author at TuxMachines states) and are generally only as secure as they are configured to be.
