I want general privacy/security online. ive been reading on opsec the dnb etc and ive only seen a few things when mentioning your actual hardware. freshtomato or dd-wrt or openwrt or OpnSense/pfSense - are all terms ive come accross when researching this topic but i still have no idea how it all wraps into 1. i feel like ive been living under a rock the past 15 years
Can someone please explain like its to a child. Ive got fibre optic broadband at home with a modem from my isp. my modem connects wirelessly to my devices and also through a cable to the wall/internet. how do routers fit into this and how do i achieve the best security/privacy.
I already have a vpn and have heard of rasberry pi.
I would like to stay private online when doing research or reading on conspiracies. nothing illegal but i like to dive deep. i currently plan to install whonix for tor use.
ps I know a vpn doesnt guarentee my anonymity (im just concerned about my isp knowing every single thing im doing at home and trust my vpn more to not keep logs). Ideally i would want all devices at home to go through vpn including streaming/gaming. any advice to stay protected from hackers with things like the pineapple.
