Building a Secure MikroTik Homelab Network with VLANs, IPv6, and PPPoE
Modern homelabs often run multiple services: development environments, smart home systems, cameras, containers, and infrastructure experiments. Without proper segmentation, these services all share the same broadcast domain and security boundary. To improve both security and manageability, I redesigned my home network using VLAN segmentation, strict firewall rules, IPv6 support, and PPPoE WAN connectivity on a MikroTik router. This article walks through the design decisions and configuration used to build a secure, scalable MikroTik homelab network. ...
