beef up your security with a private home network to interact with the bitcoin network 🥷
self custody is important, now ensure you can always transact without censorship ⚡️
below are what I chose for my simple private home bitcoin network 🧶
Discussion
APC 1500 surge protection and battery backup for loss of power without downtime to the network & allowing for proper shutdown of hardware/software
Everything gets plugged into this 
Arris Surfboard SVB3202
This is just a modem, no wifi, no bullshit. Just a nice but stupid modem.
Stop using your ISP gateway. Take back control of your internet.
Plug your incoming internet cable into this and your WAN ethernet line out. 
wireguard everything
Protectli Vault fw4b
This is a four port firewall router plus an auxiliary wifi interface
This device runs FOSS OPNsense firewall software with everything essential to protect your home network
Plug your WAN ethernet into the WAN port. Run your LAN ethernet out
You can decide what comes in and out, separate devices on the network and so much more.
Feee Open Source Software runs on this dedicated micro computer to control your internet flow.
This is bad ass hardware and Protectli has been rock solid customer support. 
GliNet Flint 1800 WiFi router
This sleek piece of hardware is the ultimate wifi router
Take complete control of your home internet with the web based GUI
This has four ports and four separate wifi networks each with own password protection
Easy to add VPN with wiregaurd, run tor
Too many features to list
Plug the LAN ethernet into the LAN port on this wifi router 
Do you use ooenwrt or just the default firmware?
Default, many configurations available
Read the default is based on an old oprnwrt build. I guess you aren't putting it facing the internet but it might be worth looking into updating it

Here is where you interact with the Bitcoin network behind a fire wall, behind a VPN and over TOR
All on hardware you own running FOSS on your own home
Plug Thinkpad into wifi port so as to be on the same network as your node
Everything in and out is over Tor or VPN 
De googled Pixel6a
Purchase unlocked with cash so as to not have identity tied to an ime number
Run CalyxOS or Graphene
Last but not least is a secure private mobile device simply for running your dedicated Samourai Wallet
Pair with your Ronindojo Tanto
full node for complete sovereign transactions on the go 
i chose to connect the Pixel6 running Samourai Wallet to the unique wifi network of the Proctli Vault to completely separate it from the wifi networks of the GliNet.
the wifi network on the Protectli has a unique feature of being invisible to devices when searching for wifi networks
you only know the network exists if you can type in the unique wifi network name
I think this feature is available on many routers. If you live in a densely populated area with a lot of WiFi networks around, no problem. If there are not a lot of networks around, it might raise suspicion, so you may want to have a dummy network that is visible.
with the latest Ronindojo updates Sparrow Wallet can connect over LAN to the Tanto for even snappier Fulcrum response time in the wallet
I like to use each wifi network to pool together similar devices. Put bitcoin things on one network, your work on another, the wife on one, the kids and tv shit etc on another, the guests can’t access your shit this way.
Plus with your computer command station set up properly like this you can shut off any device from the network with the click of a button.
Now is the time to take back control of your internet. Build a private home network that is representative of the value of what you hold. Ensure you can always transact without censorship.
Use Freedom Tech to your advantage.
I've got a lot of work to do on my home network and setup. Lots of good info here.
