Running a lab in VMWare workstation on a beefy laptop or desktop is okay I guess for some learning. I am looking at setting up a lab for some more full-featured testing.
Currently I am looking at a couple of Protectli vaults (4 port or 6 port) or similar for the open-server gateways and a NUC or similar for the open-server management. I'm not planning on HTTPS inspection, rather application control, threat prevention work, and dynamic routing.
Does anyone have suggestions or "gotchas" to look out for on this path?
Thanks in advance
