[QUOTE="BGonaSTICK, post: 93836, member: 176912"] IMO hardware firewalls in SOHO type routers are generally pretty good if, as you say, they are configured correctly. They should provide stealth port masking to stop all but the most persistant intruders. Good software firewalls can be more flexible to configure especially if you want to poke holes in it to allow certain pieces of software to operate correctly, but most any firewall can perform NAT and port forwarding. Either hardware or software - it's a billion times better than nothing at all, especially if you're on a well known always-connected IP address range. Just my opinion. :) [/QUOTE]
