Home Network Security Setup — Why Your Router Is Not Enough

Title: Home Network Security Setup — Why Your Router Is Not Enough
Your router makes decisions about your network traffic that you cannot see, audit, or override.
Every device in your home trusts every other device by default.
This is the structural problem that a consumer router cannot solve — and what a proper home network security setup actually looks like.
In this episode we expose why the default home network architecture creates invisible risk, how east-west traffic between your own devices bypasses every security control your router provides, and what the correct network security setup looks like at the hardware and software layer. We demonstrate this using a Beelink EQ14 running Proxmox with OPNsense as the gateway — a setup that costs less than a mid-range router and gives you full visibility and control. After watching you will understand why most home networks are one misconfigured device away from full exposure.
