I am under attack daily several 1000 times and have NO firewall,
also my server are exposed 24/7 to the internet and went not hacked
the last 8 years.
It depends, how you setup your Servers/Workstations but if you can
not secure a simpel computer with Debian-On-Board Methods,
HOW DO YOU WANT TO SETUP A FIREWALL
which is muck more complex and can contain 1000 times more errors.
