VLANs for Proxmox + OPNsense: My Homelab Setup

Running a homelab? Get clear visibility with Progress WhatsUp Gold Free Edition — quick to set up and easy to use → https://www.whatsupgold.com/free-edit... If your homelab is still running on one flat network, everything is simple — until it is not. In this video, I show how VLANs help split a homelab into cleaner network zones for private devices, production services, public-facing systems, and experiments. We look at how VLANs work across the managed switch, OPNsense firewall rules, and Proxmox VLAN-aware bridges, so you can decide how to segment your own network without adding a separate switch or firewall interface for every zone.
