20 July 2021, a day in progress

This is about all I have left of my parents.

Narrative: I spent most of the morning drinking our wonderful coffee from Santo Domingo. Oh, and I spent a good deal of time thinking about the network in Nevada.

Home networks tend to be flat, everything touches everything else and wireless networking has access to everything! Another way of securing your home network is thinking about what things HAVE to touch to be functional. Then divide the network between those things that don’t have to talk to each other directly. Then write out what things should communicate with other things in a chart like the one above so that you can build firewall rules to protect everything.

I was looking to bring one of them to Nevada, but then I found out they were terribly OLD and unsupported since 2019. Even the newer NAS I purchased DNS-320 Share Center is also out of date and vulnerable

I just happened to have purchased a 4 disk ASUSTOR NAS for my home network a month ago.

First thing i noticed is that it is terribly fast, at least compared to my D-Link 321 boxes. It also is more like a cell phone with all the apps you can add to the device.

I searched Amazon for a product to replace all four of them and I’ve decided to get a ASUSTOR 2disk NAS for Nevada.
