Because your newest IOT lightbulb[1] or other gadget[2] is spying on you? Of course you may have reasons to "go simple", especially on setup, and/or under controlled conditions; especially if you're connecting the two boxes via one cable as has been sugested in this (monster) thread several times, you're entitled to be somewhat secure. But dividing the world in "insecure outside, secure inside, and at the perimeter, the firewall takes care of things" is a pretty outdated way of thinking. Better use secure protocols inside your network. You never know what your network printer is doing, there beneath the desk.
