Hello FreeBSDers,

Two questions really.

1. 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.

Ron
