    For me personally, I just use my home router (Google WiFi) and it's NAT (which is what all of these home routers do), is typically sufficient for many things. Your router will not just let arbitrary traffic from the Internet come into your home computer, it will only allow traffic that IT requested to come back in.

    So, I just generally run WIndows with the firewall in it's standard config. I don't make really any modifications to it.

    I run WIndows defender only. If I do have a problem down the road, I would try a malwarebytes scan.

    i have router which my ISP provided.

    I have ms defender alongside malwarebytes free and plus Adguard for windows with dns turned on.

    Malwarebytes premium is great one but also price has high
