[QUOTE="ErzCrz, post: 904127, member: 81799"] Disabling Remote Management, Upnp, changing router login password is a must as is connecting to it via Ethernet for managing the device. My ISP (Sky-UK) doesn't allow changes to DNS server as it's not an available option and would interfere with Broadband Shield so you can only use their router. I have got the option to block sites by keyword or address either via the router or Sky account. Ipv4 & Ipv6 firewall enabled on the router so I can't see that I'd be vulnerable for this and I think if you have remote management disabled as well as uPnP you shouldn't have an issue but maybe I don't understand this fully.
