I want to start up a homelab and upgrade my home network.

What's your network layout and how do you secure it?

what's the point of all these home "labs" I see posted about

cisco has that software where you can make a virtual network

>cisco
What's it with all the fucking glow niggers the last few days?

Have you ever tried using it?
Or have you tried certain features of it that don't work but are mission critical?
And have you tried using the configs on that software on regular hardware without testing?

if you work in networking in IT, its a good way to practice and develop your skills so you can get promoted. if you don't work in IT and have a homelab you are a weirdo.

software simulations don't give you the experience to troubleshoot a live rack of equipment currently in a production environment.

does having a poweredge in my basement count as a homelab?

Who cares about a live rack in a production environment? Everything's moving to the cloud anyway.

Thank you for your "highly valued" input Amazon drone #2342394798234 now go back to packing up cheap Chinese dildos.

I have pfsense in a vm on my desktop with a dual port nic passed trough.
And a centos vm for internet facing services.

You can't connect to the cloud without a network!

Any why do you need anything special for that, just use whatever normies use.

ha-ha, now I know your internet access point ip is 192.168.1.1

If you trust or have offsite servers (VPS/Seedbox), use those as an entry point for a VPN and have your local network be a client of that server while having all your local ports closed, otherwise just open a VPN port on your router and set up your services to listen on the VPN interface only.
