Wow, 3 firewalls and somebody could still find me |
|
The Actiontec 1524 has a built in firewall.
I use SuSE Linux Firewall.
In my windows emulation, as I type this, I have Norton Internet security.
Ever since I got DSL installed, I hadn't had one intrusion attempt.
Until today.
Beats the snot compared to the 56k days when Norton intercepted several possible attacks DAILY.
Now let's hope the Linksys firewall I bought is compatible with PPPOA... pity the netgear device wasn't, that was otherwise a decked out model.

1. I've had good luck with my linksys |
|
I think you'll like it. It's been able to do everything I need it to, and still keep people out.

2. Is it the linksys with the wireless |
|
? That's the one we have. My roomate is the one with the laptop, and doesn't have it secured. I can't wait till someone launches an attack from hopping on his IP :evilgrin:

4. Yeah it has it built in |
|
especially cuz he has XP too and I think that has something on it not sure though, but refuses to use it. We are in Nowhere, WI- so it's not too big of a deal. I work for the tech place on campus at UWRF. We go around with the laptop shutting down people on campus with our laptop. Kinda fun:) Maybe if we get really bored we'll packet sniff and read some emails :)

6. you forgot to add my favorite Doctor onto your signiture..the valeyard. |
|
The Master said it best "But the Valeyard..a distillation of you untainted by virtual. A composite of your every dark thought is a different proposition."
As far as firewalls and identity goes, the only people who have broken through my firewalls are fools. 50 Firewalls will never keep out a determined hacker! And most already know how to protect themselves only against these rabid freaks, and do this with a cool little surprise for me waiting at the other end of the line! :wow:
