Just out of curiosity...  how can someone "intercept" data on internet
if you set up a router and the data never leaves your LAN?

You are more likely to be "hacked on" on the internet than actual
data theft.  But this can be dealt with in a number of ways...
A good router or a firewall can prevent most of this rif-raf.
