I share my internet connection via a router running NAT only. ie. no SPI firewall, etc. In this situation should each of the workstation computers run a personal firewall? 2. If yes, is there a FreeBSD port that is similar to Firestarter for Linux? I have no firewall experience and am looking for the simplest way to set one up Thanks for any help.
