Segment your home network easily with a VLAN on a Mikrotik router. 🖥️
Mikrotik firewalls have been good to me over the years and they work well for multiple purposes. Creating an OpenVPN server on the device can allow you to connect into your local network when you’re on the road or protect your traffic when you’re using untrusted networks.
Although Miktrotik’s implementation isn’t terribly robust (TCP only, client cert auth is wonky), it works quite well for most users. I’ll walk you through the process from importing certificates through testing it out with a client.
