I always put a firewall that I own inside the ISP router. Right now I'm using an old ASA 5505 but I'm considering upgrading to a Firewalla Gold. I slay segment my network so that it phones and notebooks are on one network and the TV and Xbox and other things that I have no control over on another.
Seems like a fair solution, thank you for the reply.
Is the ISP router a bottleneck concern for you or do you have a recent/decent model?
I'm on SpaceX. I have their latest terminal.
I used to be in Bell Canada and before that a local ISP. I've always had a firewall inside the ISP router because I work in information security and don't want anyone inside my network. My high network can reach my low network but my low network can't reach my high network.
You've given me a lot to think about and look into, thank you.
You're welcome. Check out Firewalla. They make nice devices and they are relatively affordable.
