Adding the router is a good idea as it will improve security. Incoming
traffic is typically handled very well. Outgoing traffic can be managed
however, it will not be questioned and there are no notifications when it
occurs. A software firewall configured to monitor outgoing traffic only is
a nice addition to stay on top of things.
