Hi, Linux-il, My question is about securing the Internet access from a Linux Desktop(at home) to the Internet via ISP ; my setup is quite old: Dlink BR-6504N (IEEE802.11b/g/n) wireless router which is connected to ADSL bezeq device (in my case it is quite old - DSL 2500U), but the question is *in general*. The question is - which firewall is recommended to be running on the Linux Desktop ? (let's say it is either Fedora or Ubuntu). Do you rely on firewalld for Fedora and ufw of Ubuntu ? or do you recommend something else ? And regarding the Dlink router - do you recommend any other wireless router with special security features ? what should we pay attention when purchasing a new wireless router, related to these aspects ? or is it enough to have the firewall software on the desktop itself ?
My main focus here is avoiding intrusion into the Linux desktop, but avoiding viruses is also important. Is there a (free) good Anti-virus sw for a Linux desktop that you can recommend? Regards, Dan
