Either that or an annomouuus proxy anyway.
Anyway I am not a hacker so it is pointless asking me to hack you,
so if you want to be tested you better ask more widely, prehaps in a
'hackers'
group and see how you get on.
Or you could go to one of many sites which will test you open ports.
I have just had all my 'ports tested' and I passed with flying colours.
Perhaps you would like to give it a try too???

So..... what extra is a router going to offer me? (Apart from extra cost).
Of course you need to test you router is secure too ;O)
Some what more difficult me thinks :O|
