Dell r640 (alien.top)
submitted 10 months ago by Jssn2325@alien.top to c/homelab@selfhosted.forum

Hi guys. I'm just starting to build my homelab server for pentesting lab.

Server will be running a pfsense box and other 3 to 6 vm (1-2 gb ram each)

I'd like to know how noisy it is but no videos on yt about it. If anyone has a r640, can you place a video of the server running, so I can decide between place in my room or in the room next to it. I'd really appreciate if you could or any reference is very helpful.

What else are you running on the server? Most would suggest not running certain other things on your pfsense unit, and some don't even thing running it as a VM is a good idea. Seems to be a big debate though so it's not necessarily cut and dry, but if you run a bunch of VMs alongside it just make sure you know how to keep everything stratified and protected.

It's a temporqry solution while I got the true pfsense box. I'll be running a couple of AD with 2 computers apart from DC, and standalone boxes windows/linux.

All connected to my switch with configured vlans so all secure
