In today's connected homes, security isn't optional-it's essential. Boda's Home Network Security Guide for Everyday Users offers a practical, jargon-free roadmap for protecting your digital life. Written for non-experts, this guide walks you through securing your router, segmenting your network, and boosting privacy with clear explanations, real-world analogies, and step-by-step instructions. Whether you're a parent managing smart devices, a remote worker safeguarding sensitive data, or a senior looking for simplicity, this book helps you think like a strategist and act with confidence.
Inside, you'll find actionable chapters on locking down your router, creating guest networks, enabling DNS privacy, and using tools like Fing, GlassWire, and Pi-hole. Learn how to block ads and trackers at the network level, configure VPNs for sensitive tasks, and audit smart device permissions. Case studies show how families, solo professionals, and older adults apply these strategies in real homes. Fillable templates-including a network map, monthly security calendar, and privacy audit worksheet-make it easy to track your progress and stay organized.
This guide is more than a checklist-it's a mindset shift. With printable resources and a focus on usability, it empowers everyday users to take control of their digital safety. No technical background required. Just follow the steps, apply the templates, and build habits that protect your home, your data, and your peace of mind. Security isn't about paranoia-it's about protecting what matters most. Start your journey to a safer digital home today.
