Not really. The vast majority of security issues are due to an action taken by an authorized user already on the network. Open infected email or attachment, clicking bad links, visiting infected web sites, etc... Your specific network being targeted and then successfully accessed is not a real concern if you have basic protection of firewall (router & computer) and anti-virus on and up to date. So you are way over complicating your network while gaining a minuscule security benefit. It would be like going through great effort and complications to disguise your front door from unwanted intruders...... instead of simply locking the same door. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108474 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
