Due to bezeq's modem's wifi unreliability, I'm mostly connecting to my
own wifi router anyway.
I'd have switched to it completely and use a firewall there, except
it's old and doesn't support IPv6 at all, and I haven't gotten around
to buy a new one and/or install *WRT.
I'm also a general believer in securing my laptops rather than my
network, as I'm connecting to any and all wifis when traveling,
and I've been deliberately running an unsecured wifi for years,
valuing helping neighbors & passers-by over security (nowdays there is
no dillema I'm shifting to separate guest networks).
To some degree, the desire of dropping NAT and having
world-addressable machines inherently conflicts with the desire to
have a firewall.
But the wisdom of all this is of course debatable.
