Hello Carl,
I agree with you. The MikroTik router does not have the "automatic"
firewall. Each rule must be added to the filters. The STN project has a
kind of simple quick implementation -- for those that need the ready made
setup, this is good. For those that need an all purpose router and want
the DIY approach and are quite informed about firewalling rules, the
MikroTik router provides the possiblities.
I am on your side - censorship is not the American way!
