Cybersecurity

Welcome to PacketRealm.io — my digital sanctum. I’m a homelab enthusiast and network engineer on a mission to understand the invisible threads that bind our digital world. Whether it’s Layer 2 magic, BGP sorcery, or deploying self-hosted services with just the right blend of elegance and redundancy, this realm is where ideas are forged and protocols come to life. 🧠 What I Do Network Engineering — From firewall rules to VLAN segmentation, my lab mimics enterprise-grade setups using open-source tools. System Architecture — I architect and maintain a hybrid environment using Proxmox, Docker, and virtualized infrastructure. Security & Identity — Integrating solutions like pfSense, Keycloak, and LDAP to secure and federate identity across services. Monitoring & Observability — Using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, Netdata to make sure no packet goes unnoticed. 🧪 My Lab Stack Includes pfSense (Primary + HA) Pi-hole (Redundant DNS sinkholes) Active Directory (Windows Server 2025) Dockerized services (like Nebula-sync) Prometheus + Grafana Hugo-powered website (this one!) 🌐 Why PacketRealm? Because every byte has a purpose. Every route hides a story. This is where packets go to become legends. ...
