Hi,
I’ve been using a SG-2440 for a couple of years now, but only as a well-maintained basic NAT router. I know I’m not using all the capabilities the box offers.
I’m increasingly concerned about ‘infected’ IoT devices inside my firewall. I don’t have any specific concerns. But confidence is continuously declining that everything I implicitly trust is really worthy of that trust. I’m looking for a tool that will provide me some evidence that my network is behaving well, and identify devices that might be betraying my trust.
I’ve been tempted by the McAfee Secure Home Platform built in to certain Arris Cable Modem/Routers. https://securehomeplatform.mcafee.com
I’d be interested in this groups thoughts on that product… but I’m even more interested in thoughts on what pfSense offers that could detect “unusual” traffic.
Thanks in advance,
Richard
PS. Also looking for recommendations to replace my aging Access Point… An Apple TimeMachine (in Bridge mode).
