Todays personal style routers require nothing more than the physical connections and dhcp ( default by most out of the box OS'es ) and nearly forget about, the only education is to explain that thier ip is not 192.168.blabla.bla.. theres no need to " expect them to understand and *properly* implement NAT *and* a firewall" .I still stand by a 40$ personal router utilizing NAT. Theres nowhere for the packets to go.. and please, when was the last time anyone here had to flash a personal style router / switch within the past 2 years... dont go esoteric on us now.. moreNINwood _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
