- An ISP provides a gateway for you to get onto the Internet. That's why they are called an Internet Service Provider, not an Internet, Security & Antivirus Service Provider.
Securing your PC from vulnerabilities, viruses & attacks is YOUR responsibility, and should remain rightly so. People always want others to do stuff they should be doing themselves. No wonder other countries don't like us -- they call us lazy, and for one, I believe they have a point.

The study also suggests that attracting new access subscribers with robust, secure services could provide organic growth for service provider revenues. Selling security services to existing access subscribers could also grow revenue and improve customer retention.
"Service providers must adopt strategies that bridge today's need to reinforce acquisition and retention with the growing need to improve protections for residential subscribers against cyber-attack, Our analysis of the Parks data clearly illustrates the opportunity to achieve both goals by selling network-based security services as a value-add to the basic broadband sub." said Claudia J. Bacco, president of TeleChoice.
NAT-T and Firewall Rulesets
Because the new NAT-T code is designed around the IETF RFC 3193 and draft-02 of the IETF NAT-T specification, for these services to run through a firewall, you must open the following ports in the firewall rules:
Note: This may affect server configurations for third-party gateways.
