I recently bought a GMKtec k10 for a dedicated virtualization server so I could run some heavy modded worlds and am not sure exactly how I would go about configuring a DMZ for the server on my network.
How would I configure a DMZ exactly in my scenario? I have a modem/router for wireless connections only on the 2nd floor of my house that also runs to a subnetwork router on the 1st for wired since the house I live in doesn't have any ethernet ports. I only have room to set up servers on the first floor. Trying to avoid wireless devices upstairs forgetting the main router so that I don't have to manually reconnect them later since my grandparents would likely be upset and protest about it.
Every tutorial I've seen online (such as PowerCert's YouTube channel) describes a setup only vaguely, telling me that either I have the server connected directly to the firewall of a router even though they previously also tell me that being within a certain (sub)network leaves that entire network vulnerable to attacks if the server is compromised. Another example would be is to have 2 firewalls which is supposedly the most secure and just involves a router as the front connection and another in the back to act as a subnetwork for all the rest of the devices as far as I know. All I understand is just like with regular computers, server or otherwise, routers have firewalls themselves that block any and all oncoming traffic to any ports/IPs within the network unless its a whitelisted port.
Am I misunderstanding something? The singular firewall examples I've seen really just doesn't make sense to me which makes me question if I even have the double firewall example fully understood.
