Ok, now that I’m spending a little time here in Australia (but will be back in a few weeks, I’m trying to set up my home network but need some help / insight.
I’m trying to set up my home network here and have been given the standard ISP broadband modem / router / wifi combo box but it’s pretty archaic from what I have gathered… they’re a little behind the times here on a surprising number of things.
Basically I’m trying to do this:
And I’d like to use a new RPi-4 with a USB/Ethernet Dongle to act as the firewall ‘server’ per the recent post about the new RPi4 (Raspberry Pi 4 released, boasting impressive specs)
Then run the home network stuff on a VPN back stateside (I realize the speed issues) while having another wifi router for things that don’t need to be run through the VPN (i.e. phones and tablets).
I’m a quick learner and able to do most things pi related as far as setting one up, but as I’ve never done anything like this, I’d love some guidance before hacking away at it on my own.
Anyone done anything like this?
