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. 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. 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 s
