Re: Isolating a System on a Home Network

Was not intended to sound as if I have a buddy trying to hack a system, or that I was trying to hack a system.

What I was saying is that Router 2 is above Router 1 in the configuration. Therefore Router 2 can access systems in Router 1 and can also access the Modem. Router 1 can access the modem, but can not access Router 2's systems. Since I do not know Krygen's buddy, I thought I would try to point that out. From the looks of how I worded it I didn't get my point across.

To stop that activity/behavior you would configure a Software Firewall to block any connection attempts from Router 2's IP subnet, and it would stop any malicious activities either by: person (from Router 2 accessing the system in Router 1), virus, trojan, or spam.

This only effects systems in Router 1 not Router 2 if anyone uses my configuration. However it is not a problem for me as I am the only one that 1. Knows about the setup and is bright enough to go looking around the network to find anything at my house. 2. The only one who manages it.
