[QUOTE="scorpionv, post: 881254, member: 87125"] Good topic! I'm all for complete network protection. (y) Afaik PiHole is focussed on ad-blocking, so no complete firewall / UTM protection. I would not recommend putting your ISP modem/router in bridge mode. You need to be very sure that the device behind your ISP modem/router has all 'shields up' before you do that. Sophos UTM Home or Sophos XG Firewall Home would fit the bill, but they will both need networking knowledge. You can use these devices to learn more about networking, but it will take a lot of time (at least it took me a lot of time). If you are looking for something easier you are stuck with Gryphon or an Asus router with AiProtection (AiProtection is pretty good from what I hear). [/QUOTE]
