I'm well aware of all the bullshit that is knocking on my doors all
day. Point is, firewalls on the *routers* are not goint to help the
laptop that moves around, attaches to a Wifi Hotspot, is hacked there,
gets moved back behind your firewall, and starts hacking others from
there. And it doesn't help the desktop PC that neglected to do any
updates, gets infected by flash/pdf/word exploit, and starts scanning
your network, behind the firewall.
The problem here isn't with laptops, it's with TVs, light Bulbs, Thermostats,
digital picture frames, etc.
These are the types of devices that I'm worried about protecting.
