I too used to use portsentry when I was using my linux server as a
router/firewall as well as it's other duties. But like you, I found the
linksys routers and started using those and have since.
But what are you referring to with the dd-wrt? Open source program to
replace the linksys program in the router (I have read briefly on this
in the past)? Something else? (some reason, I feel like an idiot right
now hehe)
