    What about making the default be "no inbound connections"
    and having a web interface where a customer can open
    ports if they find it necessary? The web page could
    guide them regarding which ports are necessary for which
    applications. Even if some folks just clicked "open
    everything" the bulk of the population would be
    protected.

    I'm not sure what to say about the problems with
    router performance. Other access control implementations
    could probably be designed to improve the efficiency of
    this process using (better?) hardware support for the
    filtering function.
