Re: Keep using wireless router just for firewall feature?
As a general rule, I would never connect a client machine directly to the Internet (even if my client was an extra-hardened OpenBSD machine). Much preferable to have some kind of gateway handling that for me. A consumer router will at least provide you with NAT by default, although most people don't seem to utilize the additional filtering capabilities which it makes more like a traditional firewall. |
