- ricardbejarano 8y agoI second this.
- idle_zealot 8y agoSsh and p2p stuff are two examples off the top of my head. For p2p, you lose the ability for peers to initiate a connection with you if you block incoming traffic.

- konart 8y agoThat's what you usually do (preferably on your router if you are using one). But the article says "and check Block all incoming connections". That's my point.
