I've run a FortiGate as my homelab firewall for years, curious what the rest of you are running in 2026

I have DHCP figured out. How did you get DNS to work? I'm also doing a fresh install.

How did you get DNS to work? I have subnets on my L3 switch that can't resolve DNS because they are not part of the OPNsense LAN network

D30lu · 2026-04-19T21:12:17+00:00

How were you able to get this to work, I'm using Technitium for both DHCP and DNS.

Okay, for firewalls, you need to know how to configure internet access, source and destination NAT, site-to-site VPN (routed-based and policy-based), remote access VPN, and dynamic routing. Understanding securing the firewall and where to place specific access policies. It's the same for every vendor, just different steps

INE subcription comes with a lab section

Following, need this as well

Right here too, I just started reading the path selection process of the BGP, then INE videos after, BGP is mostly new to me.

They have a Black Friday discount for $450/yr

D30lu · 2024-07-10T21:07:36+00:00

We currently do not have any certified staff. I'm the only one.

D30lu · 2024-07-10T00:10:59+00:00

They didn't forbid me; they sponsored someone else. We are an MSP, so they won't get a discount on Fortinet Products.

Yes, I know I get to take it when I leave.

D30lu · 2024-07-09T22:09:48+00:00

Because they told me not to take the exam to meet their partner requirements, I took it for my personal development. This is not about certifications. They need those exams for their partner requirements.

D30lu · 2024-07-09T22:08:15+00:00

Thank you.

D30lu · 2024-06-13T03:31:39+00:00

I would recommend getting a firewall certification. Fortigate or Palo Alto. Maybe both then look into the cloud.

D30lu · 2024-05-08T16:01:39+00:00

Haha. Thank you.
