Re: Router Firewall

I believe most people on this site would recommend a software firewall, as well as the hardware version on your router. This thread should explain why.

Hardware firewall stops stuff from coming in - Software firewall helps stop your computer sending stuff out, that you may not want (trojans, etc).

hope this helps.
