Router Firewall and Little Snitch
I used to use Little Snitch for whatever security it provided. Recently
I switched to a Router Modem that comes with a built in firewall. Is Little Snitch still relevant? Thanks.

I suggest also keeping the firewall enabled on your Mac if you are running any sensitive services on it. You never know when you might accidentally turn off the firewall on the router... -- Jerry Kindall, Seattle, WA http://www.jerrykindall.com/ Send only plain text messages under 32K to the Reply-To address.
