Re: [PLUG] ADSL and Security
|
If your ISP is bridged, it is definitely in your best interested to firewall
the crap out of your WAN box. I know verizon used to have each circuit on
its own VLAN, which protected individual circuits from traffic from other
circuits, but they stopped this practice after "someone" complained about
not being able to pass legitimate traffic between two customers who happened
to be on the same DSLAM.
