PrivacyTechPro tip:

Your router likely has proprietary software installed from a large company that has full access to your internet connection and can "call home" at any minute.

Use a hardware firewall and a VPN on your network.

Every IOT (Internet of Things) device you connect to your home network not only announces your IP address, but also expands your network attack surface to hackers.

I recommend #Protectli Vault Pro VP242 4x 2.5G as a hardware firewall for most client's home and small business networks.

Like… I know THAT more can be done to secure my network … and this looks super cool and useful … but how tf to set it up to best suit my needs? I’d spend at least week figuring this out. So daunting.

where I live the only option is AT&T. And they require you to use their proprietary router.

Would it be reasonable to have this downstream of the router provided by (say) Starlink to securely separate local network traffic from IoT stuff? My paranoia here is in the developing stages.

For those who may not be as technically-inclined or that well-versed with networking, would you recommend this set up guide? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2_cQxTkh3Q

What if you have one of those stupid all in one provider provided routers? Internet will not work unless you port forward it. With it still in the network do you even gain any privacy advantage?
