Homelab

Cisco 2960 switch · pfSense on Intel NUC · NAS · monitoring & utility services.

A practical, evolving lab for networking and security work. I’m running segmented VLANs on a Cisco 2960, pfSense as the gateway on an Intel NUC, a DIY NAS for snapshots & backups, and a small observability stack. Below are the sub-projects—first one is live, the rest are being documented.
