Your IoT devices are usually easy to hack, and they put the other devices on your network at risk. One way to help protect your more important devices is to keep them on a separate network, and create firewall rules that block your insecure devices from talking to any other network.
Your firewalls are a crucial part of your privacy and security setup. You can think of them like a bouncer at a building, deciding who is allowed to enter and who is not.
In this video we show you how to create a separate network for your insecure devices like IoT devices. We then show you how to create firewall rules to silo these devices on the separate network, so that they can't access any of your important devices on other networks.

Your home network is key to the privacy and security of your online activity, so it’s really worth taking the time to learn about how to make it more robust.
This is the 2nd video in our series about home networks. In the first we explained how your router is actually really insecure, how there’s better software and firmware you should be using, and we taught you how to install these better systems.
