Hi all,

I’m slowly moving into the self hosted mindset specially for privacy, security and sailing the high seas. This community has been invaluable but I’d like to know which routers you use that fit well with this and plays nice with the services we’re hosting.

I’m mostly thinking about wifi support, openwrt, vpn (not a hard requirement), vlans, etc. I know probably a networking community would be a better place for this question, but I think this might be useful for other “self-hosters”

    I use Mikrotik RB5009 because it’s easy and very powerful. It has zerotier and wireguard built in. I’m slowly getting into OPNSense, but I’m not too familiar with it yet.

    I also run ubiquiti wifi, but am planning on changing to another system in the future.

    My core switch is a unifi 24 enterprise. It’s the only affordable and semi quiet switch that is multigig, POE, and semi layer 3.

    I currently run 6 vlans. Users, servers, management, IoT, LAN only, and DMZ.
