Sounds like wise advice, but how do I go about this? Just add another NAT, sound simple enough, but how do I do that? You wrote you had NAT and PF already running. There is no difference between adding a second NAT zone and creating the first one. I guess safer means there will be no access to my wired network (LAN) if I add another NAT zone? Help would be much appreciated ;-) If you don't route between your wireless and wired networks and just let both of them communicate with the internet, there will be no access between them. One other thing: if I (still) decide (in the future) to clone, would I clone the internal Ethernet card or the one attached to my ISP? As your ISP probably wouldn't accept your local IPs, you would have to bridge between your two local NICs, otherwise you would circumvent your NAT setup.
