Help with network infrastructure
Hello, all.
About 6 months ago i turned an old laptop into a small lab for me, i hosted a lot of local stuff on it, media, teamspeak, etc.
My network setup is pretty simple so i didn't expose anything to the internet (I used tailscale, but that does not count, it's not cool enough)
The plan is to host a real web application on my laptop, a full stack app not a static web page.
After researching the issue and what do i need to pull it off, surprise surprise it needs a lot of network experience and infrastructure changes.
What i understand is the following:
-1- the basic infrastructure
(ISP ONT (no Wifi) => network switch => pfSense on my server
________________________________________=> access point for Wifi
________________________________________=> other devices using cable
This should make pfSense the main router (In theory), because I can configure VLAN since the server only has one port.
-2- If VLAN worked fine, and i was able to secure the network, the security for the machine it self should be "relatively easy", isolated VM with isolated resources etc.
Is this the correct path ?
I know i am touching things i might have no business with but i think i can learn so much from this experience.
What do you all think ?
