DSL Gateway (how secure is it?)
Hello All,
Recently i installed a 256kb WiLL connection at home. The receiver is a Wireless gateway from Dlink, DI713P. It gets the dinamic IP from the ISP and internally assign IP´s for the boxes i have connected (2). Covering around 100 square meters.
Well, my point is, how secure this kind of connection is? I understood that the only visible host for the internet is the gateway and as it generates addresses for the internal PC´s, they are not "saw" to the external network. Is it correct?
Are there ways to get into it? Should i consider to setup a proxy and/or software firewall?
This is what is called NAT?
Thank you for you feedback!
