By less security, I mean someone has to compromise your router/firewall box to the extent that they have full visibility into all your networks including the internal, private networks. The basic DMZ implementation is a more budget friendly and easier to implement option due to requiring less hardware/software to purchase, configure, and maintain. I am limiting the scope of this how-to to the basic DMZ example since I imagine many home network users will be using a single router/firewall to manage multiple logical/physical networks. The basic DMZ example is pretty much the approach that I took in my home network – partially due to inexperience when I was learning how to use OPNsense and partially due to minimizing expense on purchasing additional hardware. While researching DMZ implementations when writing this how-to, I came across a nice write-up on implementing a basic DMZ using a single firewall as well as implementing a more advanced/secure DMZ using two firewalls (another good DMZ reference). ![]() It is an effective strategy to minimize public exposure of your critical assets as well as limit the damage caused when an intruder is able to penetrate your network. The intention is to protect the internal network from external threats. A DMZ (demilitarized zone) is a segmented part of a network that is used to host all publicly accessible websites and services. ![]()
