[QUOTE="ZeroStrawberries, post: 969349, member: 86326"] Hey, At the moment I run Windows 10 and Linux Mint. Windows runs with ESET IS, and Linux only with UFW(default settings)). I used to run my pc through a router(and therefore have a router firewall), but had to connect it directly into the wall to have a functioning internet connection(slow download speed/non-existant upload speed). I try to be cautious on the internet, and don't run random scripts/programs. I haven't noticed any major issues, other than that ESET says that I'm connected to a public network(thinks it is infected by a botnet if I trust the network), and that it sometimes pops up saying that it blocked a connection to a random ip(like on the other side of Europe.) every once in a while(once per month or so). I am aware that I lost a layer of protection, but I assume that ESET IS would protect my device/traffic well enough even without a router firewall? [/QUOTE]
