Alrighty, I'm well on my merry way to learning everything I need to know to be a real protected mothafsker. There are however, a few things I would like to have explained in detail, if you would.


Question #1 - Do hardware firewalls offer better protection than software firewalls?

I am currently running my computer through a router with a built-in firewall. The company touts this router's firewall as being safer than any software firewall.

Question #2 - Are proxy servers that don't forward HTTP headers very anonymous?

I'm pretty sure there's more ways than one to skin a cat, particularly this one, and I would like to know what identifying marks I'm sending out, even when running through an anonymous proxy server.

Thanks for your time

Keith
