I purchased a Linksys BEFSR11 router/firewall for home use because =
simply its the only thing I can afford that serves this purpose. It =
seems to work well with the exception of it having UDP ports open to the =
internet.
What kind of security risk is this? More importantly does anybody know =
how to correct this?
I would also like to know anybody's professional (or non-professional) =
opinion of this device. What I am interested in is what types of things =
does this not provide that I should know about. Thank you for your =
time.
PS - _PLEASE_ reply directly to my e-mail address below as I am not =
officially subscribed to this list. THANK YOU!
