The whole gist of that article is kinda dumb. What difference does it make
what the default settings are? How do default settings "limit" a firewall? I
think most commercial firewalls come with all the well-known ports open for
incoming traffic, and all outgoing ports open as well. But what difference
does it make? Everybody has to define their own ingress and egress filters
for their own network. You couldn't come up with default settings that work
for everyone.
