You can hook up wifi router, configure an open port for streaming Netflix/gaming, etc and comes in 2 port, 4 port or 6 port models, I’m using the 4 port which is overkill for most, but wasn’t that much more spendy than the 2 port. (I plan to switch to a home brew VPN or maybe Proton VPN when my PIA runs out, still researching that stuff) Still nice to have the VPN on the phone for when traveling outside of home network, but on the Protectli firewall box, everything is protected. I find this still a good option unless you need blazing fast speeds.īut this upgrade is excellent, it provides a firewall where you have many options I chose to use PF sense software and my PIA account on it, which means anything I connect to this thing is behind the VPN, with the need for only one login. Then I discovered the small travel router called a Beryl (GL iNet) which works excellent, it’s about $80 so not too crazy, very portable if you travel a lot, and handles reasonable speeds for general email/browsing needs. But wanted to encourage others to check this option out as a robust way to stay private on your whole home network.Īt first, I ran VPN (PIA) for years on phone and computers, with the need to login on each device every time. I’m hesitantly calling it mission success on first try, because it has dropped connection twice already, but a quick reboot/login fixed it, so I have a lot of homework to do yet in the settings and setup. Just installed this monster!! Home firewall using a Protectli box, PFsense software and my VPN provider. Protectli PFsense Firewall Jan 2022 713×708 49.9 KB
