-I had a few servers. One server was running Windows Server 2003 and was my Active Directory DNS server. My dad ran cables on two sides of the house. Everything came into our basement where I had a "server rack". The cable that ran to my bedroom was the "East Net" and the cable that ran to the living room was the "West Net". I also had a clubhouse (converted shed). I had a couple old routers I put DD-WRT on and used to form a wireless bridge. Since my bedroom was on the side of the house with the clubhouse, it was easy to setup. In the clubhouse, the other DD-WRT bridge acted as a switch. I had a few desktops in here that I was able to connect to the network. In my bedroom I had my desktop, an HP desktop running Ubuntu, and a Dell desktop also running Ubuntu. On the "West Net", was my mom's computer with the shared printer, a DD-WRT router acting as a WAP, and my dad's laptop and occasionally my mom's laptop. +I had a few servers.

 Now that I was able to invest a little more, I got a dedicated server in North Carolina and installed Proxmox on it. I also added a pfSense VM. With this, I setup an IPSec tunnel so I could have these servers on my network. This grew out a lot thanks to me moving to Unifi. This let me get IPSec tunnels all setup and until I get another house, everything just lives in the North Carolina data center. Now that I was able to invest a little more, I got a dedicated server in North Carolina and installed Proxmox on it.
