About

Building practical cybersecurity and infrastructure skills.

I am transitioning into networking and cybersecurity by building and documenting a hands-on homelab environment. The project has grown from a segmented OpenWrt network into a broader infrastructure lab covering virtualization, Linux administration, Docker services, monitoring, troubleshooting and technical documentation.

Current Environment

Homelab infrastructure overview.

The current environment combines segmented networking, virtualization, Linux servers, containerized services, DNS filtering and availability monitoring.

Featured Project

Cybersecurity Homelab

A continuously evolving homelab built to develop practical skills in networking, virtualization, Linux administration, Docker, infrastructure services, monitoring and cybersecurity documentation.

Network

OpenWrt Router

Core routing and firewall platform for the homelab network.

Routing · Firewall zones · Network services

VLAN Segmentation

Separated trusted, guest, lab and rescue networks using VLANs.

Segmentation · Isolation · IP planning

WireGuard VPN

Secure remote access into the homelab using a dedicated VPN subnet.

VPN · Remote access · Secure tunneling

Cloudflare DDNS

Dynamic DNS integration for stable remote access using a custom domain.

DNS · Cloudflare · Remote access

Virtualization

Proxmox VE

Virtualization platform used to host infrastructure services and virtual machines.

Virtualization · Storage · VM management

Virtual Networking

Network configuration for virtual machines, bridges and homelab connectivity.

Bridges · VM networking · Connectivity

Backup Strategy

Backup and recovery planning for virtualization and infrastructure services.

Recovery · Resilience · Documentation

Services

Docker

Container platform used to deploy and manage self-hosted services.

Containers · Services · Deployment

Portainer

Web-based Docker management platform for container administration.

Docker management · Web UI · Operations

AdGuard Home

Network-wide DNS filtering and ad blocking service.

DNS security · Filtering · Privacy

Uptime Kuma

Infrastructure availability and uptime monitoring for homelab services.

Monitoring · Availability · Service checks

Network Topology

Segmented homelab architecture.

The network is separated into dedicated VLANs for trusted devices, guest access, lab systems and rescue access. Remote connectivity is handled through WireGuard, while infrastructure services are hosted inside the virtualized homelab environment.
