I have always run a software firewall and a router. The router is built into my DSL modem (Westell wirespeed 2100), so my reall IP is never broadcasted. Also my IP changed everytime I log on or off again. The software firewall never gets any hits on it unless sometime it picks up feedback from my own computer, which is sometimes normal. So should I still keep the software firewall active? It just slows down the speed of the internet because of the scanning and filtering. Also alot of time I have to re-fresh the page to display all of the photos due to the selective blocking it does. Yes, on the sites I view I permite everything so that is not an issue. Just for speed purposes.
What are your guys thoughts?
Also there is a poll to see what every one runs for a setup.
