MCSA/MCSE lab/home network separation

Howdy

First official post.

I have taken on the task of self study for the MCSA and then hopefully MCSE.

I have a home network setup running pFsense as a firewall.

LAN IP is 192.168.1.*
WAN IP is 192.168.0.1
DHCP is enabled.
There are a few firewall rules for XBOX Live etc.

Installed on a lab server is Server 2012 R2 as well as laptop running Windows 10

I would like to keep the two setups separate but still have access to the net for updates etc.

Regards

Are you using pFsense as the DHCP server and router?

Yes, I have an ADSL modem in bridge mode connected to the WAN port.

PPPOE is setup on pFsense

So, you should be able to set up two separate LANs in pFsense and firewall them so that nothing can move between the two networks.

This video here and then there's this that shows that it is at least possible.
