Hi, I’m Susan Khanal — an IT and networking enthusiast building and breaking things in my homelab.

This blog is where I document everything I learn: network setups, self-hosted services, Linux configs, firewalls, and anything else I experiment with.

What you’ll find here#

  • Step-by-step homelab tutorials with real screenshots
  • Networking deep-dives (pfSense, VLANs, DNS, VPNs)
  • Self-hosted app setups (Proxmox, Docker, Kubernetes)
  • IT study notes and certification prep

My setup#

  • Hypervisor: Proxmox VE
  • Firewall/Router: pfSense
  • Switching: Managed VLAN switches
  • DNS: Pi-hole + Unbound
