Router Firewall and Little Snitch

I used to use Little Snitch for whatever security it provided. Recently
I switched to a Router Modem that comes with a built in firewall. Is
Little Snitch still relevant? Thanks.

Probably since LS notifies you when your Mac is trying to "call" out
sans permission.

Yeah, I'd keep Little Snitch.

I suggest also keeping the firewall enabled on your Mac if you are
running any sensitive services on it. You never know when you might
accidentally turn off the firewall on the router...
