I too used to use portsentry when I was using my linux server as a router/firewall as well as it's other duties. But like you, I found the linksys routers and started using those and have since. But what are you referring to with the dd-wrt? Open source program to replace the linksys program in the router (I have read briefly on this in the past)? Something else?
