General Discussion / OPNsens on Proxmox for home 2*VPN (intel N100 mini soft router 4*2.5Gbbps)
« on: October 16, 2023, 04:39:32 am »
Hello everyone.
Finally, I decided to dive into creating my dream home network, as well as a smart home.
After some research, I decided to order a mini PC (soft router intel N100 4*2.5Gbps ports), install Proxmox on it, and then ... I never did anything like that, so i need some help from a professional community
I want to:
Send all the main traffic through OPNsense (via VPN like nordVPN or WireGuard own server, also cut off various ads, etc) - for all home users and devices, do I need another "network" for smart devices for HA?
I also need to let my work PC through OPNsense but through different VPN, do I need to create a separate VM for this? or can it be configured within same OPNsense?
I would like to run a HomAsistant + Zigbee2MQTT, ESPHome, and maybe Plex Servers, for now PLex is running on Synology NAS.
What is best way to run 2 VPN connection at the same time? (If it better, can I use for each VPN different LAN port on my soft router? Wi-fi router connect to lan port1 with vpn1 and then setup vpn2 on lan port 2 for work station?) is it possible?
I will be glad to any advice and instructions. Thanks!
