I'm relatively new to advanced home networking and I want to host a web server at home. I've purchased a domain and will be using nodns or something similar to point my domain to my home IP address.
What I want to accomplish is to host a web server on my home network but not allow this server to communicate with any other hardware on the network.
My current home network looks like so:
I imagine I'll be using port forwarding to send HTTP traffic to the web server but I'm unsure as to how to set up the main wireless router and my switch such that the web server is isolated on it's own VLAN and cannot talk to the rest of the network.
My main issue is that I only have one physical cable going from the main router upstairs to my switch downstairs. On the switch downstairs I have the web server connected as well as other devices. I want to avoid changing the physical layout of the network and running a second cable from upstairs to downstairs isn't an option.
Is it even possible to accomplish what I'm looking to do with my current network layout? I have DDWRT running on both the main router and the switch connected to the web server so I do have some flexibility there.
It won't be possible with your current configuration more then likely due to the other intranet devices that would be on the same vlan. – Ramhound Nov 8 '17 at 21:55
This ended up being the answer. I was figured it would have to be that way but I was hoping there would be some kind of network trick that could make it possible.
