Hey there selfhosted community.
I had big plans when I moved last year to finally setup my homelab with proper VLAN seperation. Well a stressfull move later I simply had no energy left and just threw my whole homelab and all my services in my main LAN with no seperation whatsoever.
In how much of a world of pain am I in now when I want to switch my homelab services over in a seperate VLAN? Any recomendations or pointers to documentation for me to go through before I decide if this is something I want to do right now?
Currently this would impact a proxmox host with 3 VM’s and 1 LXC and around 20 docker images.


The biggest reason is to prevent iot or other untrustworthy devices from reaching the Internet.
You can do that at the router. You don’t need vlans to block Mac addresses.
Or in some cases ONLY allowing them to reach the Internet. So they can’t access your other devices…
