Question on creating multiple Wireless VLANs for Security (IoT devices, Family WiFi, Guest WiFi)
Hey Everyone,
I'm in the process of re-doing (re-designing) my entire Home Network. I've decided to go the VLAN route for both Wired and Wireless devices. From a security standpoint, I would li...
Yeah, makes sense big time. I may just have to look into those other APs then, as you suggested. As for Firewalling off the NAS, I'm wondering if I should insert a small Firewall appliance, like an Untangle u25x in front of the NAS on the IoT VLAN NIC, or maybe use a built-in security feature such as this:
Then I can get really crazy with the Firewall rules and access controls.
What do you think?

I'm a pretty new user of pfsense (netgate sg-3100 + 32GB SSD ). I've been running it a couple months now. I'm an administrator of Check Point, Cisco ASA, SonicWALL firewalls, etc. and pfsense was simple to setup compared to most of those. The feature set is amazing with it's package manager and the community support is superb. LOTs of free pfsense training videos and if you buy their hardware, you get a fantastic book and access to their hangouts which are essentially training videos on how to implement certain features. You can get delayed (free) feeds from Emerging Threats, Snort for use in Snort/Suricata and GeoIP from MaxMind for pfblockerng. Plenty of free threat intelligence feeds or DNS filtering services to add more security that put PiHole to shame. (PiHole interface is amazing but I digress)
