+# My OpenBSD Home Network Setup
+
+2025-08-25
+
+I recently moved to an area with more internet provider options, all of which were *not* satellite-based. This change allowed me leave my current provider (Starlink) and also freed my network from being locked behind CGNAT. The jump from ~150Mbps to 1Gbps has been fantastic, but the real benefit in this switch has been the ability to overhaul my home network setup. 
+
+My simple setup includes:
+
+- Custom OpenBSD router
+- Self-hosting my own web server
+- Eeros setup as "dumb" APs
+
+I plan to write-up an updated guide for building out my simple OpenBSD router (the older article can be [found here](/posts/openbsd-router)) and another tutorial for setting up an `httpd` web server on a Raspberry Pi 400 running OpenBSD, but today we will just look at the basics of my personal home network.
+
+## The Setup
+
+I know a lot of people have their networking devices beautifully organized,
+allowing them to display all the hardware "out in the open". I'm not one of those people.
+My network hardware is stored inside one of my basement utility closets, which
+sits between my main basement and the room that houses my furnace and hot water tank. Classy, I know.
+
+So please excuse the "dungeon" look in the photo below.
+
+<figure>
+<img src="/public/images/network-2025.jpg" alt="Photo of my network setup.
+Shows a modem plugged into a small OpenBSD router, and a Raspberry Pi 400
+plugged into that router via ethernet"/>
+<figcaption>My network setup. Main modem is connected to the OpenBSD router,
+which is the gatekeeper for everything else on the network.</figcaption>
+</figure>
+
+Let me further example the picture above:
+
+1. The black device on the far left is my ISP's modem
+2. The smaller black device in the back is a fanless mini PC (Intel Celeron J1900 4xi225V NIC) I picked up off Aliexpress. Currently running OpenBSD, acting as my main router/gateway
+3. The Raspberry Pi 400 on the right side of the screen is my self-hosted web
+   server (you're visiting a site on that server right now!)
+4. **Bonus**: There is an older 32" TV off the to far right side. This is
+   connected to the Raspberry Pi in case I need to perform any "onsite"
+debugging or tweaking that can't be done remotely
+
+I will also give a break down of the colored ethernet cords:
+
+1. Yellow is the "internet" being fed from the modem to my router
+2. Blue connects to my Eero Gateway (not pictured), which is setup in the main
+   basement
+3. Red connects to the Raspberry Pi server
+4. White connects to my Xbox Series S (not pictured), also setup in the main
+   basement
+
+## Stats & Improvements
+
+I consistently get ~900Mbps from devices connected directly to the OpenBSD
+router, and ~280Mbps at the furthest part of my house (connected wirelessly to the 3rd
+Eero mesh AP). Not too shabby.
+
+I would love to replace my Eero APs with mesh devices running something like
+OpenWRT, since these Amazon devices still "phone home". These Eeros where all I had on hand, 
+so I'm just dealing with it for now...
+
+(I do have one D-Link DIR-878 running OpenWRT already - so maybe just grabbing
+a second one of those could work?)
+
+## Closing Remarks
+
+That's pretty much the gist of it. I plan to get those more details guides
+posted soon, now that the craziness from the move has settled down. Hopefully
+those can be a little more helpful for anyone interesed in setting up
+a similar OpenBSD-based network.
