1 edit | Firewalls overrated
The need for a firewall by the average broadband home user is so overrated it is would be hard to overrate the touted need.
Most users, especially those with a dynamic IP, could get by fine without a firewall.
Is any type of firewall better than no firewall? Yes. Does that mean it is a really highly needed item? No.
If I had a static IP instead of a dynamic one I would post my IP here and challenge anyone to get by my home software firewall. my computer would die of old age before anyone would be successful in hacking me.
FUD is right. |
