Hello!
I’ve been tinkering with my first homelab for about a month.
Originally I was going to bridge my isp router to my dell server to an opnsense vm and out to a dumb AP for wifi. However since I’m in the early stages of tinkering with my server it will most likely be rebooting often.
I picked up a tp link that’s openwrt supported, and thinking of flashing that to use as a managed AP and using opnsense as strictly firewall?
My question:
-
if i do it this way, will the internet access be uninterrupted for my family when my opnsense is rebooted
-
can i just use openwrt for wireguard? That’s my primary focus for all of this as I’m looking into vpn tunnelling/reverse proxy for remotely accessing my server
Thanks in advance and please feel to correct me if I’m misunderstanding certain concepts or terms.
