Re: Using a router as protection

I use the same router and ZA pro. The router blocks all ports by default. You really only have to make changes to settings if you want to open ports to play multiplayer games, or use MSN messenger and things like that. Other than that, you should be protected out of the box, but you may want to go to ShieldsUp to test your ports. It was very helpful to me.
