Hey guys, got a firewall question...

Hi, I have the firewall turned on in the ORBI router. Is it also necessary to turn on the firewall in Preferences > Security and Privacy in the macOS?


Thanks!

iMac Pro, macOS High Sierra (10.13.6)

Because it's redundant to run two Firewalls. If the Firewall in your router is so bad it needs another one, then you might as well disable it and run the macOS Firewall.
