Help setting up isolated network for 4 computers using static IPs (Verizon Fios Business)
Hi everyone,
I’m looking for help setting up a small home network where each of 4 computers appears completely isolated from each other, ideally as if they were in different households. Here’s the situation: • I manage multiple social media accounts, and the platform has a strict one-account-per-household policy. • To stay compliant, I’m trying to ensure that each computer uses a separate static IP and cannot be linked to the others. • I just got Verizon Fios Business Internet installed, with a /29 block of 5 static IPs. • I also have 4 brand new computers ready to go.
I’m comfortable with basic networking but this level of setup is new to me. I’d really appreciate guidance on: 1. What additional hardware do I need? (Routers, switches, firewalls?) 2. A step-by-step guide to assigning one static IP to each computer, while keeping them fully isolated (no internal routing or shared DNS leaks, etc.). 3. Any security, DNS, or MAC address tips to further ensure they aren’t seen as connected. 4. Is it better to use 4 separate routers, one per computer? Or can I do this with VLANs or pfSense?
I’d really appreciate advice from anyone who’s done something similar. Thank you in advance!
