Hello. As the title say's I am seeking input.
I provided the current network setup and my proposed setup.
My goal is to:
Take more control of access and better organization
Provide more security for network
Cut subscription services as I can and makes sense
In this endeavor I did a lot research and have partially implemented proposed plan in a segregated network as I setup and test.
I have two physical OPNsense devices. 1 I built on an miniPC 16gb RAM 2TB Storage and 1 I purchased from eBay
My Current NAS drive is a Synology 8TB. Will be reconfiguring to either RAID 1 or upgrade to a 4-bay RAID 1. This will remain on Old network until I can move it to the proposed (Go live)
On the Proxmox server It is an:
AMD Ryzan 7
90GiB RAm
4 TB SSD
Currently Running only a PiHole Instance
----
part of the plan will be to save important data to my iCloud account from the NAS on a schedule.
Once I figure out how the physically setup the 2nd OPNsense router into a fail-over I will implement. Any suggestions on how to keep the two synced if configuration changes are needed or lists update?
Eventually I will be adding a 2 PROXMOX server in a cluster for HA, I don't want to worry about the network going down and not being able to get back online if I need to replace hardware.
Any recommendations on vLAN setups (if I should) and needed or good recommendations of things I can and should consider on the PROXMOX server?
Being a retired VET I am on a limited income so I need to save money anyway I can. Especially since subscriptions keep going up...up..up.. and AWAY.
Cheers and thanks for ANY input.
