About

The Privacy Hero Adapter is a Linux based adapter that encrypts Internet traffic from/to a home network. We spend most of our time working with networking, DNS, VPN and firewalls.

We believe there is a new category where privacy, security and network management are separated from a router in the classic networking setup.
