[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1846040, member: 396914"] If you have a router from your ISP, it has (99.9%) a firewall in it, and the pass wording system to log into your router then provides security. If you take your Mac out, as I said, and connect to a strange network, then you need the firewall on the Mac to protect you. (Such as it is. Firewalls aren't terrifically secure. If you really need security in an alien network, use a VPN.) [/QUOTE]
