Re: Bottom up security

I have wondered this myself as to why can't I have one unit that combines my cable modem and router/firewall it only makes sense and certainly reduces the amount of cabling and such (network cable from modem to firewall and one power cable as well, likely save a bit on the power bill as well). I know some ISPs are moving in this direction, but the more the better.

Re: Bottom up security


Well, yeah, IF they continue to allow the users fine-grained control of that built in NAT service. Otherwise, if they were to start locking that NAT in place, it's a slippery slope towards a "Port 25 and Port 80/443 Outbound Only" world.
