Build secure, self-hosted infrastructure with Proxmox, OPNsense, and Linux. Guides, networks, privacy — no cloud, no lock-in.
About the Website
Welcome to our platform — a dedicated resource for building, securing, and managing modern IT infrastructure using Proxmox, OPNsense, Linux, and other open-source technologies. Here you’ll find hands-on guides, technical breakdowns, automation tips, security insights, and real-world configurations — tailored for both home labs and production environments.
In a world dominated by cloud services, containers, and increasing cybersecurity threats, understanding your own infrastructure is more important than ever. This site is built for those who prefer to take full control of their systems — securely, efficiently, and independently. We don’t just rehash documentation — we test everything, explain why it matters, and walk through how to apply it in practice.
Our content focuses on the following areas:
- Proxmox VE — installing, configuring, migrating, managing LXC/KVM containers, clustering, backups, and advanced setups.
- OPNsense — secure networking, VPNs, VLANs, NAT rules, WireGuard, DoT/DoH, IDS/IPS.
- Linux server administration — user management, firewalls, services, systemd, Bash scripting.
- Networking — local and hybrid network design, routing, DNS, DHCP, remote access.
- Security — hardening guides, encryption, access control, intrusion detection, zero-trust principles.
- Self-hosted apps — Nextcloud, Immich, Vaultwarden, and other privacy-friendly cloud replacements.
Our approach is grounded in transparency, precision, and a deep understanding of technology. Each tutorial is well-structured, includes screenshots or diagrams, tested commands, rollback instructions, and performance or security considerations. We often cover non-standard use cases and explain how to implement them reliably.
