Product Recommendations - Firewall
A firewall is an essential part of every security setup. As
described in the book, cable/DSL users should always have a
hardware firewall. Dial-up users should always have a software
firewall.
Here are a number of firewalls that have received good reviews
and offer flexible enough port forwarding for most online gaming.
Hardware Firewalls
The following routers should typically sell for under $40.
| Linksys BEFSR11
Single port router is fine if you aren't doing any
Internet sharing. The BEFSR41
has four ports, but sporadic complaints of freezing up
under high traffic. If you get it, try some heavy
downloads before the warranty expires to make sure yours
is good.
