As the title says, I’ve been doing some research into networking and selfhosting I don’t mind the thrill and frustration and sense of accomplishment none of my family and friends would get other than the internet of doing these things myself. At the moment I have a truenas server running Jellyfin and some other services which are exposed to the internet with traefik/cloudflare. I was thinking about securing my network further mainly as a why not project with the additional benefits of making my network more secure.

Here are some things you should know

  • I have 2.5 gig speeds with my ISP (a vast majority of my hardlined devices are capable of reaching 2.5 and I’d like to keep it that way )
  • I would like to isolate my siblings computer which functions as his work/ personal computer from the rest of my network it is hardlined but I would still like for their speed to touch 2.5
  • I would like to isolate my other devices that are hardlined in their own category
  • I’d like to isolate my server running truenas I’m assuming if I isolate my server, it wont be able to connect to localhost:xxxx to log into web uis as well as not being able to get the 2.5 transfer speeds? since my main computer and the server share the same switch I’m okay with the localhost thing I would just expose with my domain and add on authntik(however it’s spelled) (would be nice to work on the server when I’m not home)
  • as for my hardware on my server is a 12700k 64gb DDR4 Ram,a Arc380, HBA lsi card, and many many drives

I’m open to other things to use or add to maximize security. and give me something to do /learn. I don’t want to hear about things being overkill; I live for that stuff, and my only concern would be the price of hardware, I have actually been window-shopping ubiquity stuff, but I’m sure I can get a similar setup without the pricetag.
