Skip The IP Address

Well, at last here's your answer - noiptun. Yes, it requires an IP stack to be compiled into the kernel but no IP addresses necessary on the real interface(s). And if stealth IDS setups aren't your bag, then you can at least use it to browse /. without having an IP bound to your linux workstation."
Nevermind. I'm a moron.
A firewall can not protect you from yourself. Turn off what you do not need. Do not use the firewall to do your work.
