Experience

BlackRoad OS | Founder & Network Lead | 2024Present

VPN & Mesh Networking

  • WireGuard mesh VPN (10.8.0.x subnet) with DigitalOcean hub routing to all edge nodes

  • RoadNet WiFi mesh: 5 access points on non-overlapping channels (1, 6, 11)
  • Dedicated subnets: 10.10.{1-5}.0/24 per node with NAT through wlan0

DNS Infrastructure

  • Pi-hole on Alice: fleet-wide ad blocking and DNS resolution
  • PowerDNS on Lucidia (Docker): authoritative DNS for custom zones
  • dnsmasq on Cecilia: custom DNS zones (.cece, .blackroad, .entity, .soul, .dream)
  • Cloudflare DNS for 48+ public domains

Reverse Proxy & Load Balancing

  • 48 Nginx sites routing traffic to fleet services
  • 4 Cloudflare tunnels for zero-trust external access
  • Per-service routing: API, web, git, AI inference endpoints
  • SSL/TLS termination via Cloudflare

Monitoring & Diagnostics

  • 106 active network connections monitored across fleet
  • 867 processes tracked for network resource usage
  • SSH-based fleet probing with health checks
  • Daily KPI collection including connection counts and peer status

Security

  • Zero-trust architecture via Cloudflare tunnels (no exposed ports)
  • WireGuard encryption for all inter-node traffic
  • UFW firewall on edge nodes (INPUT DROP policy)
  • SSH key management across 50+ authorized keys
