    What type of man-in-the-middle attack are you talking about? Someone inserted a certificate on your device and another device on the network intercepting the traffic and proxy it?

    I have no idea as there are way too many ways to perform mima and I can't be bother to dive into the cause of the problem and hell knows how much time I have to spent to find this out. But I know he can access my ram, access account contents, vpn couldn't stop him, pretty sick. I was thinking of CISCO firewall but it is too expensive. Thinking if firewalla Gold could sort of provide advanced features to stop this act.

    If you don’t know the attack it’s impossible to defend against it. 
    With ram you mean your memory?

    Well, it really depends on the concern and also how much effort you want to spend eliminating the risk. Someone's ability to access your memory and account content, it may not be a network issue, you need to look at antivirus for memory hacks ... and account content is your service provider issue, that's not related to anything on your home network ...

    @Daniel: Yes, the memory. This guy is very sick, as I protect my passwords and personal information carefully and had them encrypted but he could still be able to obtain them. I don't know if he is an expert in hacking but finding flaws in a network isn't hard.

    @Firewalla: To be honest, I haven't put much effort into dealing with this hacker. I have only adjusting some settings in the router and antivirus firewall, didn't want to fully drain my energy. I am using Bitdefender which does not have any mechanism to protect my memory, I thought of memory encryption but it is way too expensive and it is not a solution for residential user. I don't agree with you in account content wise, because account content needs to be transmitted between user and the company server, hacker can easily obtain that information in the middle of the transmission if they possess the required skills and network flaws.
