What Are Your Recurring Costs? (lazysoci.al)

I know it's a rude question, but it's been on my mind… I'm wondering roughly what I should be expecting to outlay when I finish my set-up? So I'm assuming it includes things like domain names, hosting for backups, email providers, VPN, etc. What's a good budget to set?

I run a pretty hefty home lab, so my costs are fairly high compared to some.

Electricity: $70/mo
Internet: $55/mo (1000x35)
Cloud backup: $20/mo
Web firewall/IDS/IPS: $8.30/mo ($99/yr)
Domain/email: $15/yr
VPS: $1/mo

Overall: $155/mo

What do you use for a web firewall?

[–] scarecrow365@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

ZenArmor. It integrates nicely with Opnsense and offers all of the features that I was looking for.

Is the firewall something you've needed?

I expose quite a few services to the web, so having that extra layer of protection is nice. And it allows me to control what leaves my network from an application perspective, not just TCP/UDP
