Need some help with my homenetwork design and configuration

Hello you lovely networking guru's.

I am about to bring my home network to the next level and want to segment it a little.

Here is my hardware overview
Router for internet connection: Fritzbox 6660 Cable
Router for internal firewalling: OPNsense VM on Unraid
Managed Switch: Mikrotik with Router OS

Scheduled network segments
Fritzbox Network // 10.10.10.0/24 // DMZ & Wi-Fi for Gaming and non-trusted stuff
VLAN11 // 10.10.11.0/24 // Work Network
VLAN12 // 10.10.12.0/24 // Private Network

I do not have a lot of experience in networking stuff as an old endpoint management horse   ::)

What I try to archive here:

  • Fritzbox should still open the internet connection
  • OPNsense should be there to route and manage the traffic between DMZ and the VLANs
  • Mikrotik is basically there for switching the VLANs
  • Wi-Fi is provided by Fritzbox

Question 1:
Makes that structure any sense?

Question 2:
Where to configure VLANs and how

  • Mikrotik oder OPNsense and give it to mikro over thrunkport
  • something that is counting for OPNsense here is that I have access to VLANs in my Unraid, or am I wrong.
  • Point for Mikrotik is probably speed and better management

Question 3:
Where to place DNS (Adguard / PiHole)?

Question 4:
Even if the Fritzbox network 10.10.10.0/24 is not manageable, is it possible to place a VLAN10 with that net in the OPNsense Router to forward it to some of the free ports of the unraid or some VM's

Question 5:
How does the routing table need to look like for every of that network devices?

Question 6:
Do I need NAT here in that scenario and if yes how that works?

I attached a google drive link to PDFs with the planned network structure.

Thank you very much for any information.

Cheers!

Not much going on here.
Do I something wrong? Is there more information that I can provide?

It's a very complex scenario. Judging by the word "oder" I guess you are german.

Here in the german forum is a big thread that explains a lot of things regarding Fritzbox and OPNsense.

Hey your right.
I'm from Germany.
Thank you for sharing that information with me.
Really doesn't thought that this architecture is so complex

Yeah, a lot of people underestimate it and then they're getting trapped by the technical debt they're experiencing. It's good that you think about this beforehand and make a plan and stuff.

But in the end, you have to think about the can of worms that gets opened up.
