about 2 weeks ago, I got a wireless router, and a wireless card for the Laptop
I secured it all, using WPA PSK + AES encryption, MAC filtering, and turning on SPI (it automatically runs NAT)
when I looked in its log, I found that it has blocked a CRAPLOAD of hackers. I mean, probabbly a hundred at least just for today.
I was really surprised that there were so many hackers trying to get in.
because of the sheer large volume of hackers the router has blocked, I was very impressed. I very much recommend people who use the internet a lot to invest in a router with SPI and NAT. they work really well.
I did a lookup on basically what they do, and this is the gist of it:
SPI - this blocks everybody from the internet from getting to your network, unless you have initiated the connection
NAT - this hides your network from internet users.
