Let's set up 802.1X authentication on the pfSense 4200 using FreeRADIUS and a Windows Certificate Authority (CA) as part of Zero Trust.

This post outlines how to build a segmented, secure network using pfSense on a Netgate 4200, a budget-friendly managed switch, and VLANs with point-to-point firewall rules. The objective is to use 802.1Q VLAN tagging to create isolated network zones and enforce access control with pfSense’s built-in firewall.

To enable VLAN tagging on a Raspberry Pi, install the vlan package with sudo apt install vlan, then load the 8021q kernel module using sudo modprobe 8021q. This setup allows your Raspberry Pi to support 802.1Q VLAN interfaces for use with managed switches and segmented networks.

Ever looked at a packet trace and wondered where all those network connections are coming from, or where they’re headed, without having to query each IP one by one? Wireshark has you covered.

If you’re looking to take your online privacy up a notch, combining Tor with an InvizBox router is a smart move. The InvizBox makes it easy to route your network traffic through the Tor network, giving you anonymity without having to tinker with complex configurations on each device. In this blog I'll walk through how to get Tor running on your InvizBox so you can browse the web more securely and privately.
