I am under attack daily several 1000 times and have NO firewall, also my server are exposed 24/7 to the internet and went not hacked the last 8 years. It depends, how you setup your Servers/Workstations but if you can not secure a simpel computer with Debian-On-Board Methods, HOW DO YOU WANT TO SETUP A FIREWALL which is muck more complex and can contain 1000 times more errors.
