![[Update: Fix] Chromecast (2nd gen) and Audio can’t Cast in ‘Untrusted’ outage](https://i0.wp.com/9to5google.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2019/08/chromecast_audio_1.jpg?resize=1200%2C628&quality=82&strip=all&ssl=1)
I'm done with building my own hardware firewalls.
The home labber in me is recoiling in horror but I've found a hardware firewall that just works, and I'm not going back.
Keeping your home network safe has never been more important, given how much of our lives and finances are on our digital devices. I've toyed with the idea of building my own custom hardware firewall on several occasions, but every time I've started, it quickly becomes a long process of trade-offs and convoluted forum searches to install the features that I want. Having software firewalls on each device helps, but it doesn't protect any of the IoT devices that can't run a full service.
