I'd like advice from anyone who has experience, particularly Nayr since he seems to be "the authority" on all things VPN and networking.
I'm looking for the best & reasonably affordable method of securing my home network and still allowing me to access my BI feeds. I wouldn't mind spending $100-200 if needed.
I have Comcast cable internet (modem in bridge mode), an TP-LINK Archer C7 router (WiFi disabled), a Ubiquiti AC-PRO access point and a 24 port TP-LINK POE smart switch TL-SG2424P. I'm thinking about buying a VPN + Firewall router to enable me to VPN into my local network as well as provide a firewall for security.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a decent brand/model?
I've been looking at the EdgeRouter line from Ubiquiti. I also could DIY one with a motherboard and chassis, as I'm fairly competent with this type of thing.
I thought about flashing my Archer C7 with DD-WRT, but I don't think it really has enough processing power to handle VPN + streaming cameras, and the firewall isn't very good.
Also, would anyone recommend PFSense? What's the best type of VPN (OpenVPN vs. others)?
Any advice anyone could provide would be appreciated.
