Private Home Network

I posted this elsewhere and someone (Tamhas) suggested I try this board, so here it goes:

I’ve become a little more security conscious (make that crazy) these days with the proliferation of sophisticated scams and hackers. I want to set up a private home network so that when I connect to the internet via my service (Spectrum, these days), the data is already encrypted on the PHN before it gets to Spectrum.

I have what I consider sensitive information on my PC and I would prefer to make hacking it as difficult as possible (financial spreadsheets, passwords, bank account information, etc.). I access banks and my broker from this PC (and yes, I always use 2-factor authentication).

Has anyone created a private home network? If so, can you recommend a book or web site that shows you how to set one up (preferably in Private Home Networks for Dummies step-by-step style). Just saying.

Or, despite being a tightwad, should I just bite the bullet and hire someone who knows what they’re doing?
