  • SSH - change port, disable root login, disable password login, setup SSH keys using SK(YubiKey in my case)
  • nftables - I use https://github.com/etkaar/nftm to keep things quick and simple. I like the fact if will convert DNS entries to IPs. I then just use dynamic DNS update clients on all my endpoints
  • WireGuard for access to services other than SSH(in some cases port 443 will be open if its a web server or proxy)
  • rsyslog to forward auth logs to my central syslog server

Hard pass. Which ever vendor keeps making dumb appliances gets my money. I can live with basic "smart" appliances as well. The ones that connect to WiFi simply to tell when say the wash cycle is done by sending a message to your mobile. But I don't need no flipping AI crap in my house thank you.

IF it's possible you might be able to take the ISP SFP and put it in a SFP to RJ45 media converter and then you can use any 1gig capable router. I did this with my Telus SFP.

OPNsense or OpenWRT. I run multiple OPNsense firewalls for family members all connected together with a WireGuard Mesh.

Cisco is command line for the most part until get into the APIC NSX stuff. There's others but I'm only exposed to those 2 where I work.

Nah don't use those. Get your own direct from Let's Encrypt. Less hoops to go through when its time to renew. Acme with a crontab entry takes care of renewals automatically. Don't forget to add to the crontab line to restart nginx right after the renewal so that the new certs are used.

Edit: spelling

I have one last domain to move off Google Domains as the registrar. All my other domains are moved to Porkbun already and haven't had any issues. All of my domains use desec.io for DNS.

Yes that's what SimpleLogin does and its part of the Proton umbrella. You can use your own custom domain or a SimpleLogin domain to create email addresses. It also enables you to send from the custom addresses so the end user never learns your true email address. SimpleLogin also has mobile apps so you can create addresses very easily.
