Hi. I wanted to know if it's needed to install a firewall on a linux desktop/laptop. Why yes or why no?

    I'm now sure how is is in your country but where I live we don't have a contract with the ISP. We just pay monthly and at any time we can cancel. But if you have a contract, then yes you'll need your own router ideally

      In my country all ISP routers suck hard. I can change ISP but it doesnt help at all. You have to be lucky to get a working router it seems. We can get service with no contract with extra €, but you still have to use their router that doesnt support bridge mode. Im not even talking about routers security
