Merry Xmas All,
I am setting up my new router. I am using a Linksys WRT1900AC
v2 running DD-WRT. I will eventually be setting this up to use
VPN, but my more immediate question relates to MAC address
filtering, hidden vs visible SSID. I've allways used MAC
address filtering as a layer in my lockdown of my wireless AP.
Ditto for hiding my SSID's. Along with going through and
disabling any services enabled by default and not used. One of
those would be remote access to the router.
What are your opinions of necessity as the the three items
named? Am I too paranoid? I do these each as a layer in my home
network security, I don't view anything as the end all. Are
there any other things I should be doing in addition or in
place of?
