Router vs Routing and Remote Access

Comment:

VPN always fails behind my Linksys Router. Connecting the internet to a 2 NIC computer works for me. When I turn on the basic firewall, is it secure or is the Linksys Router more secure? How is it secure if it isn't?

CORRECTION: How is it NOT secure if it isn't?

You can test the security of both at the Shields Up web site. Run their tester and see if there is indeed a difference between the two.

OK, but which is more secure. Linksys Router or Windows Server 2003 acting as router. Why is it more secure if one is more secure?
