I’ve been tinkering with my home lab network, experimenting with subnetting and Pi-hole (running on an old dual-core PC with Proxmox) to make everything faster, cleaner, and more secure. Here’s the setup: 🔹 Internet → Pi-hole – Acts as a network-wide DNS & ad blocker, speeding up browsing and blocking unwanted content. 🔹 Subnetting in my Home Lab – Keeps traffic organized and secure: Home Lab – Main devices & servers (192.168.1.x) Guest Network – Laptops, phones, visitors (192.168.2.x) IoT Devices – Lights, fans, and other smart devices (192.168.3.x) Gateway: 192.168.1.1 | DNS: 192.168.1.10 💡 Hands-on experimentation in my home lab is the fastest way to truly master networking concepts! #Networking #HomeLab #Subnetting #PiHole #NetworkSecurity #ITInfrastructure #DevOps
