Hi,
I am planning to avail a fiber broadband connection. I dont want to use the ISP provided router coz I have no idea how secure it is & how well they offer timely firmware updates.
At the moment the only client is my desktop running Lubuntu. I watched on Youtube that in order to convert a fiber connection a MODEM is needed which converts fiber to RJ45.
My question is if I connect the RJ45 which comes out of the modem directly to my PC's LAN port will this cause any issues from a security angle ?
In future I am planning to buy an Amazon Fire TV stick. When I do that I will install IPCop on a dedicated PC and use a cheap router in ACCESS POINT mode.
For now the only client is my Lubuntu 20.04 box.
