  • My view on this, at least for higher end devices like laptops, tablets, phones, etc, is that the OS must be secure to threats already because they all support cellular connections, where you will not have a home router to block incoming connections. IOT is, of course, a different story.

    The other thing we should all hopefully know is that a lot of threat vectors don’t involve incoming connections. Browser zero days, for example.

    BTW, all that said, I still don’t see why Xfinity can’t just provide a better set of knobs on the firewall.
