Security on Home network when using Hub 3.0
I recently read a quote on a forum which said (summarsied) that if my home network runs from an ISP provided router in which no 'demilitarised' zone has been defined or port forwarding is not enabled, then no firewall is necessary on the PCs with a wired connection to the home network. Is this claim correct - even for Windows PCs (which complain continually when I disable any of the 3 firewalls in Win 10)?
Is there an exception to the security provided by Hub 3.0 which would make it advisable to have a firewall running on each PC?
Are wifi connected PCs protected to the same extent?
