you don’t need one dude.

A hardware NAT is just fine for incoming traffic.

Unless you want to monitor outgoing traffic to the net, you don’t need a firewall.

werd. I don’t run a 2-way firewall on my desktop, just my laptops since they roam onto networks that I don’t have control over.

It’s a nice app though, I had never used it until maybe 3 months ago.

Granted I basically never use that laptop _because_ it runs windows so I haven’t used the app a whole lot either.
