It seems to me that the anti-hacking setting is purely a incoming
attack block, so it requires the least user intervention (and is the
most like a hardware firewall.) I'm trying to use something that
will give my users the least headaches.
Have them buy a one port router if they have a single computer with a
high speed 24/7 connection for the NAT translation. I have several
clients setup this way & if they want to add systems to share their
WAN connection then have them buy a 4 or 5 port switch. Now whether
they have a software firewall installed or not they'll be reasonably
safe providing they aren't in the habit of shooting themselves in the
foot by launching unknown attachments.
