17.11.4 P2P Download Security
When you download using P2P, you reveal your I P address. This increases t he risk of hacking
attacks, which can be protected against by a good firewall.
Use a Hardware-based Firewall
Place a hardware- based firewall between your network and t he I nt ernet ( a soft ware- based firewall
on your com puter would j ust protect t he com put er it self, not t he NAS since your com put er is not
bet ween your NAS and t he I nt ernet) .
