Where's the pain-free device with open source, easily upgradeable firmware, that puts all of our IoT devices in their own private network but lets us tunnel through to them? It needs to be easy enough that our (grand)parents could pick one up on Amazon, Best Buy, or Home Depot and plug in and go...
