Maybe and maybe not. Nowadays many routers have built-in firewalls, some of which are quite effective. (Assuming, of course, that the router's firewall functionality is turned on and correctly configured.) > Using a router is no excuse for not using a good firewall. Right, unless that router *is* a good firewall.
