Description
Book SynopsisThis book is an easy-to-follow series of tutorials that will lead readers through different facets of protecting household or small-business networks from cyber attacks. You'll learn how to use pfSense to build a firewall, lock down wireless, segment a network into protected zones, configure a VPN (virtual private network) to hide and encrypt network traffic and communications, set up proxies to speed up network performance and hide the source of traffic, block ads, install and configure an antivirus, back up your data securely, and even how to monitor your network for unauthorized activity and alert you to intrusion.
Trade Review“An excellent crash course for someone like me with a technical background but little security experience. I've always wanted to beef up my home server and network security but didn't know where to start . . . This book has given me actionable steps I can take today, this week, this month, and beyond. And it gives me the confidence that I'm following reasonable best practices for an actual small network.”
