I've read through some posts, making a wireless router secure - I have a Datalink DIR 625 and have set up WPA-PSK on my home system (no MAC) - 5 computers and cable HS. I have a static IP and do use a VPN (sometimes very busy and hard to log into). I have been playing around in Zonealarm and have had some issues with the VPN network. My question is, should I include a software firewall on top of the router. I need to set rules for some IP's so I need a capable program and suggestions are welcome. I have had some issues with Za, and tried PCtools, which basically wouldn't let me into my VPN. I have the Comodo beta and wonder if anyone has feedback on it?Also, I am constantly seeing UDP blocks in Zonealarm on port 1720. Is this something I should expect?

(Block or Accept)You'll just have to search around on the internet & see...And i don't think you shood worry sooo much about security if you have no enemies i think this is set-up pretty good. But as I said you'll have to get an easier firewall.
Should I just stick with Windows Vista Firewall?
There's also a slider Internet security and trusted zone security and I could play with those ...
