hardware only. ^^

Router and software firewall on most machines that I use for accessing the internet, router firewall only for the folding-only rigs, and Kerio firewall for one machine that faces the Internet. So I voted both even though I have machines in both, harware only and software only.

hardware NAT/Firewall in router only

 

software firewalls are annoying, always end up blocking *myself* at some point regardless of how many rules i set, and they don't really give any higher form of protection over hardware from my experience with them

I did... I will go bludgeon myself for not paying closer attention, sorry.

 

* hands oldfett a blunt instrument * :P

 

As for the poll, I took the 'both' option... my homebrew router/firewall box running Coyote Linux (featuring NAT) & a variety of MS, nVidia & ZoneAlarm software firewalls :D

 

Call me paranoid :ph34r: LMAO :lol:
