Hello, I’m planning on creating a home server and getting some cameras.
I would like to have the server, cameras and all IOT devices be disconnected from the internet but still be able to access them within the house from different devices and maybe have limited access to them when outside.
Do I need a specific hardware for this? And what router would support this? I’m still in the planning phase but I’m looking for budget friendly solutions.
Thank you
Are there any decent interfaces for configuring routing and vlans with linux these days?
OPNsense is excellent. You can run it on a cheap mini PC with multiple Ethernet ports and it makes a great router. I run several VLANs through it.
Edit: It’s based on FreeBSD, not Linux, in case that matters to you.
Excellent, thanks!
OpenWRT?
OpenWRT and Untangle are the most user-friendly Linux options for running on your own hardware, but most people in homelab use pfsense or opnsense which are based on FreeBSD.
Hadn’t heard of untangle.
