What do I need to separate devices to its own no-internet network and still be able to communicate with within the house and outside? (Diagram provided)
(programming.dev)
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
Vlans firewall rules and something to route between the different networks.
This can all be achieved with pretty much every Linux installation.
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.
I do the exact same thing, only over PFSense (no issues with OPNSense at all, I just get along with PFSense better). 6 VLANs and 7 APs around the house, no VLAN can see the other, and all my "smart devices work exclusively local, and if I need to reach them from outside, I VPN into my house over WireGuard. It sounds more complicated than it is. Once it's all set up, it just works.
