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?
