Subject: need for stateful packet inspection
Date: Sun, 23 May 2004 15:33:14 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <40B126AA.3050106@qwest.net> (raw)

I am ignorant re iptables.

I am considering buying a linksys router. It seems to have statefull 
packet inspection that blocks nonmatching incoming packets.

If I do not have a server exposed to the internet, do I need any
packet inspection other than checking that all incoming packets match an 
earlier outgoing request?

TIA
