What did you use in place of the built in firewall?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Nothing, because I'm behind a router

It's still advisable to turn it on... it's Windows after all... on Linux, yes, I don't use a firewall as well.

My router has a firewall. There's no point in double firewalling

There is if one of them doesn't do the job properly.

No, you're just arguing for the sake of arguing. Why not 3 firewalls in case two fail?

I'm not allowing programs in two places "just in case" what a ridiculous suggestion
