Good evening,
I’ll apologize if I posted this in the wrong section; was not sure if it needed to be in cyber security or the network section.
I currently have an EdgeRouter X running into a Cisco switch with several VLANs for TV, cameras, BI, WiFi, and so on. Through the EdgeRouter firewall rules I created, no network can access another aside from WiFi accessing the BI server and the master network accessing everything. Even on the wireless router, I have activated the guest network and hid the main configuration network on the router itself.
Outside of this, I was wondering if I needed to add another layer of protection with some type of additional firewall that would be installed between the edgerouter and the switch? My main goal would be to create another layer of protection for my entire network. Some type of ad block would be nice but is not a must-have right now.
I’ve looked at something like a Firewalla box but that just seems like something to record my every move like Microsoft. I’ve also looked at the Raspberry Pi, but I’m not sure that would offer a lot of security as it seems like it’s geared mainly to blocking ads.
Would an additional firewall be necessary? If so, any recommendations on a budget friendly device that does not store and report my info?
