I use a Linksys router with ZoneAlarm as a secondary shield. When I was
using only ZA I was recording intrusions several times a day. Since I added
the router ZA has only detected one intrusion and I think it was someone
that somehow "latched on" to one of my web searches. It apparently planted
several trojans which were trying to "call home" but ZA halted the activity.
Would "stateful packet filtering" of the SonicWALL have helped in this
situation? For the time being I'll continue to run ZA behind the router.
