assistant: For home users the most simple and effective solution is:

- to enable and configure the firewall that comes with their router or internet box.
- Additionally, they can install and configure a software firewall on their computer for an extra layer of protection. For Windows users, the built-in Windows Defender Firewall can be sufficient if configured properly. Linux users have various options for software firewalls, but can also use the firewall that comes with their distribution. 

This approach of using both a hardware and software firewall is known as defense in depth and can provide greater security against cyber threats.
Advanced users might also configure firewall or iptables on each devices. 
It is even possible to add hardware firewall adapters in front of most devices but you should model the threat that you want to prevent to ensure that your efforts are well focused.

assistant: There are several good firewall options for home users to protect their devices. Here are some popular choices:

    Bitdefender BOX - This is a hardware firewall that provides network protection for all connected devices, including smartphones, tablets, and laptops. It has an easy-to-use interface and offers robust security features, such as parental controls, intrusion detection, and antivirus protection.

    Norton 360 Deluxe - This is a software firewall that provides comprehensive security for multiple devices. It includes a firewall, antivirus protection, password manager, and parental controls. It has an easy-to-use interface and offers excellent protection against online threats.

    Eero Secure - This is a cloud-based security service that provides network protection for all connected devices. It includes a firewall, antivirus protection, ad blocking, and parental controls. It is easy to set up and offers excellent protection against online threats.

    pfSense - This is a free, open-source firewall that can be installed on a dedicated computer or virtual machine. It provides advanced firewall features, such as packet filtering, NAT, VPN, and intrusion detection. It requires some technical knowledge to set up but offers excellent security for home users.

Ultimately, the best firewall for home users will depend on their specific needs and preferences. It's essential to choose a firewall that provides comprehensive security and is easy to use and maintain.

prompter: Are network breaches still a common method of hacking, given the rise of OAUTH protocols for authentication?

assistant: One way which you can protect all the devices on this network from malware and lateral movement would be to use your router to set up isolated sub-networks for your different devices. You can also check if your router supports a firewall, which can be used to protect against malware and other attacks.

You'll need to consult your router's user manual, or the manufacturer's website for more information on how to do these. I hope this helped you.

prompter: Just a few questions:
1. What specific router settings would you change to set up the isolated sub-networks and firewall? Things like VLANs, firewall rules, etc.
2. How would you go about securing each sub-network differently based on the devices in them? E.g. stronger rules for IoT devices, less restrictions for laptops, etc.
3. What other protections can you put in place beyond the router? E.g. antivirus on laptops/PCs, keeping software up to date, using VPNs, etc.
4. How would you monitor for and respond to any malware or attacks that are detected? E.g. logging, analysing logs, quarantining devices, etc.
5. How would you keep the router itself and its firmware secured and up to date? Since that is a central point of security for the network.
