I have shorewall set up on my router but I haven't set up anything

security-wise for my laptop which normally sits behind the router.

What should I be setting up on the laptop in preparation for traveling

and connecting via a foreign network or even directly to the Internet?

 I don't run sshd on the laptop.  I would think shorewall, but am I

forgetting anything?
