Alexa Amundson

Network Engineer

amundsonalexa@gmail.com | github.com/blackboxprogramming


Summary

Connecting 7 nodes across 3 physical locations with zero open ports. Built a multi-layer network: WireGuard mesh for encryption, Cloudflare tunnels for zero-trust access, RoadNet WiFi mesh for local coverage, and Pi-hole DNS for control.


Experience

BlackRoad OS | Founder & Network Engineer | 2025Present

The Layers: Defense in Depth

  • Layer 1 — WireGuard mesh VPN (10.8.0.x): encrypted tunnels between all nodes. Every packet between nodes is encrypted, period
  • Layer 2 — Cloudflare tunnels (4 active): 48+ domains routed to fleet with zero open ports. External traffic never touches a public IP
  • Layer 3 — Tailscale overlay (9 peers): management access from anywhere. MagicDNS for node resolution. Exit nodes for remote debugging
  • Layer 4 — RoadNet WiFi mesh: 5 APs on non-overlapping channels, 5 subnets, NAT, auto-failover — local devices talk to fleet directly

The DNS: Names, Not Numbers

  • Pi-hole for ad blocking and local DNS resolution. PowerDNS Docker for custom authoritative zones
  • Custom DNS zones: .cece, .blackroad, .entity, .soul, .dream — edge services discoverable by domain name within the network
  • 48 Nginx reverse proxy sites with health checking — each domain routes to the right backend on the right node
