  9. Whole Home Protection With so many cell phones, tablets, laptops and other mobile devices, the strategy has to change Internet Service Provider
  10. Basic Networking To understand how to protect your whole home, a simple understanding of basic networking will help IP Addresses are the way devices communicate Each IP address is unique, like a phone number A gateway/firewall will have 2 IP addresses Public (can be seen by the outside world) Private Internet Service Provider 192.168.1.100 192.168.1.101 38.25.94.234 public 192.168.1.1 private
  11. Basic Networking Dynamic Name Servers (DNS) The Internet doesn’t understand www.google.com Any time you enter a website in your browser, a DNS server is sent the information, and translates that into a public IP address. This becomes a point that you can intercept requests, and direct traffic where you want it to go. Not on my watch.
