No, you're talking about the software supported by the router, and you're right about that, but in a sense there is protection with any router as just oPposed to a modem because of NAT.

Hi Cara,


out of curiosity, does your time capsule have a firewall?…  I'm
assuming it does, but was wondering about security with a drive sort
of sitting out there open as it were.  I.E. it seems like someone
WarWalking / driving, could have a field day with your data if it
wasn't behind a FW.

TK:  That they sure could.  Yes, it is behind a firewall although it
can be made accessible from the outside if I so choose.

Top of the evenin' to ya m'lady.

Later...
