I am currently designing a home networking for my new house. What I am trying to understand is that what device should I deploy to act as a firewall in the network?
Currently I am with ISP router but planning to replace that with GL iNet Brume 2 security Gateway. Here I am looking at two things, security and VPN possibilities. Now, I came across pfSense and Netgate which costs a lot in EU but may provide more protections. But I am not sure if they provide WireGuard VPN client.
On small networks you usually have one device that acts like a router, firewall and VPN gateway. If you want to use a separate firewall then you’ll get double NAT unless you can disable NAT on the main router, which usually isn’t possible on ISP provided routers and other home routers.
