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
Pfsense and opnsense are also very good for this.
I know vlans is the answer, but I don’t know how to set it up. I really need to do this with my own network some day. There must be an OPNsense guide for this, I know it…
You’d put a router with firewall capabilities in place of that cloud on the right. The devices you don’t want to have internet access will be put into a different subnet than your normal home LAN on the left. You’ll then make a “Deny all” rule so that the devices on the right can’t leave their subnet, with the exception of any explicit allow rules that you make.
