Viruses

[nadr man]

Just wondering if any of you that run a server over the internet ( like Dil's World) have had problems with viruses or hackers.

My only internet source is through a router, and other comps along the network have rather important info on them. The router has a built in firewall (so i've heard), for people to get onto my server (or access EQEmu) i would need to set up the router to let this and that get to my machine: being a hole in the whole firewall system.

Unless i misunderstood what the server does. I'm thinking that the server comp connects with the players, hosting the zone files, mobs, and items. Therefore, as long as players are connected to my server, there's a hole in the firewall allowing for everyone to get the files.

Any info to prove me wrong would be great. Hosting a server would be awsome, but i can't risk hackers getting to the personal info i've entered into EQ (CC #, address...).

Thanks.
