My router has a firewall. Otherwise, I don't know why I should be concerned. I've used computers behind the router for over a decade and there has never been a problem. My previous router didn't even have a firewall, and still never a problem. I am aware of the existence of /64 IPv6 address space, but I know zero about it. Does this increase security concerns? _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
