I believe the greatest advantage LEAF has over a generic routers IS awareness. In principle, most of us would prefer to have a relative awareness of our surrounding: be it at home, at work, or driving our automobiles or even using public transportation. Granted at times its fun to sit oblivious at the back of the bus, but for the most part, we do better when we have an understanding of our world around us.
Having a good firewall/router is only as good as you make it. LEAF provides a means to cultivate an understanding (well, this is the foundation of Linux really). Not knowing what's in the box is just another blind spot for someone to hijack you. Of course, in the end it's all conserved, so having a good faith is always good.
I am grateful to this community and am proud of having an appliance firewall. All have a good week end.
