With cyber criminality on the increase and so much more at stake these days, our home or boat networks and devices need to be protected more than ever.
I'm currently in the process of upgrading my home network with a faster service (gigabit) and running Cat 6 network cables throughout the house. Then I need to make my network and devices as secure as reasonably possible. My plan is to not use wifi. Home class routers don't seem to focus on the security features needed for today's threats so I'm looking at alternatives like pfsense, OpenWrt running on a dedicated machine and/or upgrading my existing router with dd-wrt firmware.
Just curious if anyone here has done similar upgrades or have come up with a different approach to secure their home/boat network and devices.
