I recent purchased Snow Leopard here in Italy. I'm currently studying abroad. At this moment, I am currently directly plugged into a modem and I feel very exposed. Should I put measures in place to protect my computer? I am normally hidden behind a router where ports are closed off to me and I can open them manually as I please.
Does Snow Leopard have built-in support for protection like this or should I invest in a dedicated firewall application? Any suggestions?
