I hope I may be allowed to expand a bit on the OP's question.got a working firewall in my router plus shorewall installed and working. on my machine together no problem at all. why? the more security the better i guess. hope this guess is right. BTW i was under attack about a year ago. this attack was countered by the firewall in my router.What are the advantages of a hardware firewall over a firewall builtinto a router?Can one use both, or should the firewall in a router be disabled if thereis a hardware firewall?If the OP finds that he has a firewall in his router, would there be any reason for him to install a software firewall such as shorewall?
