Firewall noop-proof

Hi there!

I want to get a solid firewall for my home WiFi, were I will sometimes work with classified information.

I am not very much into IT - do you have any recommendations regarding a firewall (I was thinking about the wall V1410..?).

What would the pros recommend for the noop? :slight_smile:

thank you in advance for your expertise.

kind regards

Hello, yes the NitroWall V1410 can be a good addition to your local network if you want to have more security.

Think about your threat model and what you need to protect against. A firewall per se adds nothing. A proper configuration is required that might not be easy for a „noop“.

Do you need Internet when processing the „classified“ information? If not, easiest solution would be to do it offline from a live cd or hardened system.

Also a lot of Linux distros can be fully installed and used offline, e.g. Ubuntu or Qubes-OS.
