docs: salvage homelab network readiness skill

Rebuild the useful homelab VLAN, DNS, and VPN planning surface from stale PR #1413 as a safety-first readiness checklist instead of raw router/firewall commands.

Sync the catalog count from 202 to 203 skills and include the skill in the devops-infra install module and npm publish surface.

+description: Readiness checklist for homelab VLAN segmentation, local DNS filtering, and WireGuard-style remote access before changing router, firewall, DHCP, or VPN configuration.
+origin: community
+---
+
+# Homelab Network Readiness
+
+Use this skill before changing a home or small-lab network that mixes VLANs,
+Pi-hole or another local DNS resolver, firewall rules, and remote VPN access.
+
+This is a planning and review skill. Do not turn it into copy-paste router,
+firewall, or VPN configuration unless the target platform, current topology,
+rollback path, console access, and maintenance window are all known.
+
+## When to Use
+
+- Preparing to split a flat network into trusted, IoT, guest, server, or
+  management VLANs.
+- Moving DHCP clients to Pi-hole, AdGuard Home, Unbound, or another local DNS
+  resolver.
+- Adding WireGuard, Tailscale, ZeroTier, OpenVPN, or router-native VPN access.
+- Reviewing whether a homelab change can lock the operator out of the gateway,
+  switch, access point, DNS server, or VPN server.
+- Turning an informal home-network idea into a staged migration plan with
+  validation evidence.
+
+## Safety Rules
+
+- Keep the first answer read-only: inventory, risks, staged plan, validation,
+  and rollback.
+- Do not expose gateway admin panels, DNS resolvers, SSH, NAS consoles, or VPN
+  management UIs directly to the public internet.
+- Do not provide firewall, NAT, VLAN, DHCP, or VPN commands without a confirmed
+  platform and a rollback procedure.
+- Require out-of-band or same-room console access before changing management
+  VLANs, trunk ports, firewall default policies, or DHCP/DNS settings.
+- Keep a working path back to the internet before pointing the whole network at
+  a new DNS resolver or VPN route.
+- Treat IoT, guest, camera, and lab-server networks as different trust zones
+  until the operator explicitly chooses otherwise.
+
+## Required Inventory
+
+Collect this before giving implementation steps:
+
+| Area | Questions |
+| --- | --- |
+| Internet edge | What is the modem or ONT? Is the ISP router bridged or still routing? |
+| Gateway | What routes, firewalls, handles DHCP, and terminates VPNs? |
+| Switching | Which switch ports are uplinks, access ports, trunks, or unmanaged? |
+| Wi-Fi | Which SSIDs map to which networks, and are APs wired or mesh? |
+| Addressing | What subnets exist today, and which ranges conflict with VPN sites? |
+| DNS/DHCP | Which service currently hands out leases and resolver addresses? |
+| Management | How will the operator reach the gateway, switch, and AP after changes? |
+| Recovery | What can be reverted locally if DNS, DHCP, VLANs, or VPN routes break? |
+
+## VLAN And Trust-Zone Plan
+
+Start with intent rather than vendor syntax.
+
+| Zone | Typical contents | Default policy |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Trusted | Laptops, phones, admin workstations | Can reach shared services and management only when needed |
+| Servers | NAS, Home Assistant, lab hosts, DNS resolver | Accepts narrow inbound flows from trusted clients |
+| IoT | TVs, smart plugs, cameras, speakers | Internet access plus explicit exceptions only |
+| Guest | Visitor devices | Internet-only, no LAN reachability |
+| Management | Gateway, switches, APs, controllers | Reachable only from trusted admin devices |
+| VPN | Remote clients | Same or narrower access than trusted clients |
+
+Before recommending VLAN IDs or subnets, confirm:
+
+1. The gateway supports inter-VLAN routing and firewall rules.
+2. The switch supports the required tagged and untagged port behavior.
+3. The APs can map SSIDs to VLANs.
+4. The operator knows which port they are connected through during the change.
+5. The management network remains reachable after trunk and SSID changes.
+
+## DNS Filtering Readiness
+
+Pi-hole or another local resolver should be introduced as a dependency, not as a
+single point of failure.
+
+1. Give the resolver a reserved address before using it in DHCP options.
+2. Confirm it can resolve public DNS and local `home.arpa` names.
+3. Keep the gateway or a second resolver available as a temporary fallback.
+4. Test one client or one VLAN before changing every DHCP scope.
+5. Document which networks may bypass filtering and why.
+6. Check that blocking rules do not break captive portals, work VPNs, firmware
+   updates, or medical/security devices.
+
+Useful validation evidence:
+
+```text
+Client gets expected DHCP lease
+Client receives expected DNS resolver
+Public DNS lookup succeeds
+Local home.arpa lookup succeeds
+Blocked test domain is blocked only where intended
+Gateway and DNS admin interfaces are not reachable from guest or IoT networks
+```
+
+## Remote Access Readiness
+
+For WireGuard-style access, decide what the VPN is allowed to reach before
+generating keys or opening ports.
+
+| Mode | Use when | Risk notes |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Split tunnel to one subnet | Remote admin for NAS or lab hosts | Keep route list narrow |
+| Split tunnel to trusted services | Access selected apps by IP or DNS | Requires precise firewall rules |
+| Full tunnel | Untrusted networks or travel | More bandwidth and DNS responsibility |
+| Overlay VPN | Simpler remote access with identity controls | Still needs ACL review |
+
+Do not recommend port forwarding until the operator confirms:
+
+- The VPN endpoint is patched and actively maintained.
+- The forwarded port goes only to the VPN service, not an admin UI.
+- Dynamic DNS, public IP behavior, and ISP CGNAT status are understood.
+- Peer keys can be revoked without rebuilding the whole network.
+- Logs or connection status can verify who connected and when.
+
+## Change Sequence
+
+Prefer small, reversible changes:
+
+1. Snapshot the current topology, IP plan, DHCP settings, DNS settings, and
+   firewall rules.
+2. Reserve infrastructure addresses for gateway, DNS, controller, APs, NAS, and
+   VPN endpoint.
+3. Create the new zone or VLAN without moving critical devices.
+4. Move one test client and validate DHCP, DNS, routing, internet, and block
+   behavior.
+5. Add narrow firewall exceptions for required flows.
+6. Move one low-risk device group.
+7. Add VPN access with the narrowest route and firewall policy that satisfies
+   the use case.
+8. Document final state, known exceptions, and rollback commands or UI steps.
+
+## Review Checklist
+
+- Each network has a reason to exist and a clear trust boundary.
+- No management interface is reachable from guest, IoT, or the public internet.
+- DNS failure does not take down the operator's ability to recover locally.
+- DHCP scope changes were tested on one client before broad rollout.
+- VPN clients receive only the routes and DNS settings they need.
+- Firewall rules are default-deny between zones, with named exceptions.
+- The operator can still reach gateway, switch, AP, DNS, and VPN admin surfaces.
+- Rollback is documented in the same vocabulary as the chosen platform UI or
+  CLI.
+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+- Segmenting networks before knowing which switch ports and SSIDs carry which
+  VLANs.
+- Moving the admin workstation off the only reachable management network.
+- Pointing all DHCP scopes at a Pi-hole before testing fallback DNS.
+- Publishing NAS, DNS, router, or hypervisor management directly to the
+  internet.
+- Treating VPN access as equivalent to full trusted-LAN access.
+- Adding allow-all firewall rules temporarily and forgetting to remove them.
+- Copying commands from another vendor or firmware version without checking the
+  exact platform syntax.
