I would use the same settings as what I use at home. I used IJFW for several years on a gateway computer that was connected to a DSL modem. I never installed a firewall on my laptop because at home it was protected by IJFW on the gateway computer. While traveling I did not use a firewall as I did not think it was needed, I was not online very long at anytime. Yes I know that many people think that is stupid but I have not had a problem in at least 10 years traveling with two computers, one mine and one my wife's. -- Robert Blair
