Network security features for desktop

B

borysj

Hello, this is probably a naïve question, but I am wondering:
1) Are there some network security features that I should turn on if I am using my computer as plain desktop with a dynamic IP behind a router?
2) Are there some default network security features that I should turn off in this setting, because they are completely unnecessary, and only increase load on CPU and RAM (even if just a bit)?

Other - Do you use firewall on your BSD system behind a home router?

Some of the DIY systems I've tried leave it up to the user to install and configure a firewall, will I be safe behind a firewalled home router if I don't configure the system? What are the default security defaults in FreeBSD?
