I use a peplink, which doesn’t target the “consumer” market. Is that better? Seems impossible to know.
- crankylinuxuser 8y agoThe more it seems, is that I should run my own freebsd or centos linux router, and turn on the full compliment of security (Selinux, aide, firewalld, etc) and run my own. And put Openscap on there and use the US government configuration base remediation. Itd be painful to setup initially, but once setup should be rock solid.
- jacksmith21006 8y agoGoogle WiFi would give you a more secure solution. Google has a hardware token in the Google WiFi locked to the stored image and that is locked to the running image. So things like this hack would be exposed. But then Google keeps them up to date. But the other is Google has now found Shellshock, Heartbleed, Meltdown, Cloudbleed, Spectre among several other big ones and just invest far more in security than anyone else. They find these problems before anyone. Plus they write them up and highly recommend a few of their blog posts. A great one is their write up on the Broadpwn vulnerability.
- tonyztan 8y agoAccording to Google, their consumer routers get automatic security updates.[1] While I don't necessarily trust everything that Google says, I do believe in their ability to secure devices better than most other consumer router vendors.
