👋 Hey, I am Jason.
Lost Packets is where I document what I am building, breaking, and learning while putting together a self-hosted home lab from scratch.
Current Build
Currently building: OPNsense router on a Protectli box
Right now I am working through my router build… setting up OPNsense, thinking through DNS and WireGuard, and figuring out how I want to expose services from my home server without doing anything stupid.
What You Will Find Here
- Home router and firewall builds
- Self-hosting services like Jellyfin, Navidrome and Nextcloud
- Linux server setup and hardening
- VPS setups and configs
- Notes, mistakes and lessons learned along the way as I build out my homelab
Why This Site Exists
I built this site so I could keep track of what I am doing, document the process clearly, and have a place to publish real projects and notes instead of forgetting everything six months later.
Hope you find it useful.
