Setting up a Pi firewall on Windows 7
Setting up a Pi firewall on Windows 7
I need to configure a Raspberry Pi to act as a security barrier, restricting access only to essential websites while letting your Windows 7 system communicate via Ethernet with it.
Why not leverage the security tools on the primary router? It might be simpler to set up a separate network for the Windows 7 machine with defined access rules rather than adding another device. What concerns you here? Protecting data? I’d keep a snapshot of the setup to revert if needed.
The program you're referring to is likely built on the Raspberry Pi, and you'll need to install the appropriate operating system such as Raspbian or another Linux distribution.
The primary router is located a distance away, making me cautious about using Wi-Fi because of vulnerabilities in older Windows versions.
Your threat model focuses on potential vulnerabilities and risks. You're concerned about possible attacks and want to ensure flexibility in network segmentation using VLANs. You believe isolated Wi-Fi connections shouldn't lead to major problems.
