Is it also integratable with the Linksys VPN routers? I saw a firmware screenshot that shows the integration, but when I downloaded the newest firmware for my router it doesn't have the options. Could you shed some more light on this, please?Originally posted by lechtard
You need to use a software firewall with a router to keep things from getting out - I am using ZAP with mine only because it is integrated with linksys ..

A router should keep out those incoming packets ... disable DMZ and you should be fine.
I have the latest, but don't have that option. :huh:Originally posted by lechtard

But as for things getting out of your system you will still need a software firewall .. You will find in the security settings of your router ZAP and Pc-Cillan ... ZAP you will need to put the key in for it to work ... then you just install it onto your system and run it as a normal firewall ..
make sure you have the latest firmware also ... it does work with VPN routers, that is what mine is ..

I know that.Not having it in your router though should'nt really matter - Youcan still use a software firewall ... it will do the same thing ..
