PS, I am on cable now. My solution instead of bridge mode was: to buy my own
Motorola docsis cable modem and have my Linux router directly connected, and
not tell the world all my doors are wide open.
If one is forced to use company supplied router, I would suggest working with
it. Some often have a tech support port open and cannot be disabled. I'm in the
Schnozz nerdy camp.
