Stop ISP from getting into my Router
The easiest solution is to buy your own router, set it up, disable the router functionality on the Fritzbox 7590 and plug your router into it. It'll be cheaper and easier than a Cisco Firewall, but if you want to go the dedicated firewall route then I would recommenced OPNsense

C++ is everywhere, but noone really talks about it. What are people's thoughts?
