When it comes to Wireless security, there are a number of ways of locking down your network so that others cannot access.
The question is, what is the optimal level to advise people to use without confusing them?
What should people use and what should they maybe avoid for home use?
I personally use WEP encryption, and lock the system down by MAC address. I don’t broadcast SSID, and I don’t need much more than these settings for home use. The problem with this is it requires more configuration on both the gateway and the PC if a friend wants to link in.
I know people who use higher forms of encryption. One guy who uses no Wireless encryption and just a VPN tunnel (Which is technically more secure), and I know people who run it open (Which I think is crazy!).
What are people’s opinions? What is the best way of doing it?
