Below is the hardware and software I chose for my simple private home bitcoin network 🧶

Plug all your hardware into this.
2) Arris Surfboard SVB3202

3) 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 from the modem 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.
