Re: Freedom to Tinker: Use a Firewall, Go to Jail

I don't understand.

How would one know if I run nat or not? Aren't computers within the firewall are invisible to the outside world? And I don't understand one thing either, every company, individual, education institution, everywhere, they all have networks, all private, and all have an access point at one point, one access point would be the Internet. People who are connected to their ISPs aren't secured, ISPs aren't doing anything about securing their client's machine from attacks, i.e. blocking ports, that is why the client is ending up protecting their own selves using tools like pf, iptables, firewall hardwares.

Such a stupid idea, does this mean that web/ftp/database/etc... servers on the internet (ie. www providers) can't use a firewall as well?
