2. If I’m only occasionally connecting a second computer, would I be better off just connecting the satellite modem directly to my iMac and using internet sharing when needed? Is a Mac behind a router any safer than a Mac connected directly? Out of the box, not really. They come with no internet-reachable services switched on. Using internet sharing is fine, other than it requires the iMac to be on when the second computer’s in use.
