I've been using pfSense for years. It's great stuff. It can handle everything from simple home use, to advanced features like VPNs, VLANs, failover (high availability), multiple WANs, Let's Encrypt certificate updating, reverse proxy, ad blocking, and more. And in spite of what the guy said, the latest pfSense can be very resilient to being unplugged without shutting down because the latest version can use the ZFS filesystem which is awesome. Although I still don't recommend doing it 🙂

When you buy a firewall try not to get one flashed in china, but look at hardware that has coreboot on it and toss on ipfire (easy) or pfsense (more complicated).

Kudos for using a Netgear router as the example - they've been atrocious for face-palmingly dumb WAN-side auth attacks; not all of which they fix on older models. Although brickbats (just little ones) for running a Netgear Nighthawk of some kind (a r7xxx series?) that's quite possibly capable of being flashed to one of the flavours of open source firmwares (DD-WRT, Open-WRT, Tomato) that means you get all the function of pfSense PLUS working WiFi AND more frequent updates without needing another hardware device to purchase and power. There's precious little difference between learning pfSense and learning *WRT. Although there is a very slim but not-entirely-zero chance you brick the router flashing it.

My biggest issue with ISPs these days is how they are forcing everyone onto using their all in one modem+router combo. The first issue I have with that is I want to choose my own premium router that suits my needs, with a gaming router with 4k support and dedicated 4k optimized networks, and having 8 ethernet ports (wired connections are faster, especially when living in a condo or apartment where you are drowning in other peoples wireless signals). I've been reading about how to use Bridge mode but according to some forums online, the ISPs don't want you doing this and its either not supported in their routers or your system doesn't work properly. I hope this isn't accurate but it had prevented me from migrating to these providers in general.

Yes, all-in-ones from the ISP are completely garbage. I went from 25-50Mbps using the all-in-one to anywhere between 150-200Mbps using my Asus router. Like you, I couldn't find a "bridge mode" in my modem settings, but I did find "IP Passthrough" which is kind of the same thing. They do work differently and affect connection speed, but the end result is still basically the same and I doubt you would end up noticing a difference.

I love your videos and often find myself going down the KZread rabbit hole watching them. I am always delighted when you recommend something that I am already using. However, I have two questions. First, who do I turn to when something doesn't work as expected? Before I retired, I could go to the IT person at work and ask questions. They wouldn't always have the answers, but sometimes they would. Now, I am at a loss as to whom to ask. Second, I currently have one of those 5-in-1 routers from my ISP provider. I will probably have to buy my own router, as I did years ago. I've been breaking and fixing my computers since 2001, following videos and blogs. I once created a brick router and had to reinstall Windows when I attempted to follow directions for changing the registry. Learning processes are filled with mistakes, and I've gained a lot by researching my snafus. Sometimes, though, I've had to give up when I couldn't find the information I needed. Having an easy-to-access place where I can ask questions would be awesome. Thank you so much for providing these videos.

Thats cool video, i run very similar network config. Waiting for pfsense tips on next video, thanks.

That’s why i love Merlin Firmware for ASUS routers. You can run Skynet additional firewall, Diversion. AI Protection from Trend Micro etc and it now has Wireguard server protocol available now.

Got the Vilfo VPN router. They're roadmap shows a lot of transparency in my opinion. And it seems like they do update more regularly than any vendor I've seen. As far as security, I haven't gotten hit once since installation in November 2022 thanks to their software based built-in VPN server(separate from whomever your VPN provider is as it supports multiple providers). They do allow you to but do not recommend opening the remote WAN which was the case for my old ISP router that caused my Synology NAS to get hit with over 10,000 attempts via bots or hackers from 2014 to November 2022 which were recorded by its auto block feature.

Great video! I started on pfSense about seven or eight years ago and loaded it on a dual PIII server that I had added two dual gigabit NICs (64-bit PCI) - years later, I ported that configuration to a four-port Protectli mini-PC as shown. But that unit is now at my mom's house, as I have upgraded to a six-port Protectli at home. What amazes me is that I planned my network configuration so well that I haven't changed it much over the years. I look forward to more follow-up videos - I split the remaining interfaces other than the LAN and WAN to be my DMZ network and an "ADMIN" network. The LAN and ADMIN VLANs are trunked from my main managed switch to peripheral switches that can only be managed through the ADMIN network (only on a few systems I run). Of course, the ADMIN network has no wireless access points and is locked down in DHCP assignment. IoT and "guest" wireless are on the DMZ network. I like pfSense for being easy to move between devices too as upgrades are made...

1Gbps router are the most routers but as soon to 20gbps or higher then the choice is very expensive.

Ubiquiti has been a very good product for us. A good way to classify it would be Cisco-like performance for a lot less money. No subscription costs. I see it being used in a lot of commercial settings these days and use it for my home and business. Easily configurable and expandable managed system with excellent firewall capabilities. Nothing is absolute out there, but Ubiquiti offers an enterprise system at a very competitive price point that works out of the box.

Oh, one thing I've always got in my Internet connection (router etc) is a UPS backup, a battery backed up power supply in the event of a power cut. Also have one for computer supply. Costs half the amount of a desktop but waaaay less than losing data.

All IP addresses on your internal network are dedicated. Once it has been assigned it can't be used by any other device in your network. You're getting mixed up, I suspect, on the difference between dynamically assigned and statically assigned IP addresses. Dynamically assigned is most often done by the DHCP protocol where your router acts as a DHCP server and issues IP addresses to the devices on the network. It's not true to suggest that DHCP dynamically assigned addressing is better than statically assigned addresses. Most companies use statically assigned addresses and there is a good reason for it. It begs the question, how did you end up with statically assigned addresses on your network if you don't know much about the subject?

@@deang5622 that's correct, from a security point of view the way the IPs are assigned for the LAN devices doesn't make much of a difference...maybe MAC filtering would make a difference (so that only MACs from a list can communicate w/ the router)?... imo these are just unnecessary complications for the home user (i'm not saying education is a waste of time). changing ('hiding') the router's LAN IP for example for security reasons takes more time to set up than for an attacker that's already connected to the LAN to detect. ppl need to realize that traffic outside their modems is monitored by the ISP for various reasons, traffic management being one since bandwidth is their greatest investment and they have no interest in sharing it for free, so it's not like the wild wild west outside the modems... and to prove my point, the vast majority of malware infections occur thru attachments (and links) followed by P2P shared material, both requiring the end user to click on a trap.. i use a dedicated firewall device and i'm yet to see sustained attempts of attacks or port probing in the logs going back decades...

I am someone involved with testing devices at an internet supplier, we use inhouse firmware and middleware, not the default supplier firmware. We focus on vulnerabilities, stability, functionality and energy ‘green’ compliancy as mandated in the EU and possibly elsewhere. We take energy complience serious, so your advice for adding devices consuming a few watts is a lot of unnessesary waisted power when implemented by plenty million subscribers. Do not add boxes to your home configuration if not absolutely necessary, better invest in a high regarded and safe all-in-one.

The 169.254.*.* IP range also applies in a Windows environment as well. I'd assume it happens in most OSs. The oldest version of Windows I remember seeing this with was Windows XP. The 169.254.*.* is also called an APIPA for Automatic Private IP Addressing. Another reason to use a separate device for the wireless you don't have to replace the router to gain access to newer wireless standards as you only have to replace the access point. Also, some routers don't have the convenient setting to switch it into access point mode. If the router you are putting in access point mode, the main thing you need to do is turn off the DHCP server & if it provides the option to point it to one of the ID addresses not handed out by DHCP.
