Now that I have time for hobbies again I wanna dive right in to building up a home lab. Right now I just have a Netgear router that reached end of life, and a NAS i’d like to make accessible remotely, and a DIY router seems like the correct next step for me. I’m very interested in ad-blocking network wide and someday I’d like to host my own little webpage, but for now I’m really just barely getting started.
I’m information gathering, I don’t know what I don’t know and my networking skills are pretty weak anyway. But even if your needs and desires have nothing to do with mine, I also just like to hear people talk about their set ups. Please? 🌞
HP Prodesk with some i5 8th gen running proxmox and with a 4x 1gb pcie nic on which a opnsense vm runs.
My DNS was done through pihole. Transitioned now to technitium-dns.
My personal blocklist(s):
https://github.com/Appoxo/Ad-Spam-Blocklist
Contains a list for opnsense (IPs) and technitium-dns (but pihole should be compatible).
Anything else should be mentioned in the readme.
In case of questions, feel free to ask.
