This is the real thing — not a mockup. I run two ISPs into the house: Entel over a Huawei ONT that I patched to escape CG-NAT and get a real, reachable IP, and Mundo Pacífico — allegedly the fastest internet in LatAm — on a 10-Gigabit-capable FiberHome ONT, running the 2 Gbps plan. Through an RJ45-to-SFP+ transceiver, I connect from the router to a 2.5G switch backed by a 10G gateway, so the upper floor can make use of the line's speed without depending on Wi-Fi.

Everything hanging off WAN1 goes through a FortiGate 60D I picked up somewhere — no further questions, please — which right now only runs the DMZ, connected to a 24-port TP-Link switch that every server and lab sits on. WAN2 from Mundo Pacífico, on the other hand, goes straight into a Huawei WiFi AX2 router that acts as the main router for the rest of the house, bypassing the firewall entirely. The architecture is deliberately spread out: an old Core 2 Duo does nothing but reverse-proxy everything through Caddy so no single box is a single point of failure, a Ryzen 5 does the actual heavy lifting, and an old HP ProLiant sits mostly idle as backup muscle. The setup spans two floors: the main rack lives in the central living room, and there's a second, smaller setup upstairs in my bedroom.
