    Help with the network and servers you run at home

    We plan and fix UniFi networks, NAS storage, Proxmox hosts and self-hosted services, all over a screen share.

    What we work on

    Most calls start with one of these, and bigger projects usually touch all four.

    • UniFi

      Your network and Wi-Fi

      Whole-home coverage that holds up, on a network split so a smart plug can't see your laptop.

      • Coverage planned room by room
      • VLANs for smart-home devices and guests
      • Firewall rules that each have a written reason
      • A VPN for reaching home from anywhere

    • Synology and other NAS

      Storage and backups

      Your photos and files in one place you trust, with a copy that lives somewhere else.

      • A new NAS, or a move off the old one
      • Storage planned for the years ahead
      • Security settings locked down
      • An offsite copy, with a tested restore

    • Proxmox VE

      Proxmox home labs

      A lab that's easy to run and quick to rebuild when something breaks.

      • One host or a small cluster
      • Storage laid out for VMs and containers
      • GPU passthrough
      • VM backups stored on the NAS

    • Docker and Pi-hole

      Self-hosting

      The services you host yourself, kept tidy and updated. If your setup doesn't need Kubernetes, we won't suggest it.

      • Docker containers organized and updated
      • Pi-hole blocking ads for every device in the house

    Not sure what to fix first? Start with a setup review.

    We look over your network with read-only access and send back a ranked list of fixes, most important first. The scope is fixed before we start.

    The list is yours to work through with us or on your own.

    Network setup review

    1. High. Smart-home devices can reach the NAS login page.

      Move them to their own VLAN and block traffic to the NAS.

    2. High. The NAS is open to the internet through a forwarded port.

      Close the port and reach the NAS through the VPN instead.

    3. Medium. Every backup stays inside the house.

      Add an offsite copy and test a restore from it.

    4. Low. Two upstairs access points share a channel.

      Move one to a clear channel and lower its transmit power.

    Questions home clients ask

    • Can you set it up remotely?

      Yes. You start the screen share and can end it at any time. Watch while we work, or take the keyboard and we'll guide you. If something has to be plugged in or mounted, we talk you through it.

    • There are guides online for all of this. Why hire help?

      A guide shows someone else's setup. We work on yours, including the odd firewall rule and the old NAS you still depend on, and we test the result before calling it done.

    • Will you recommend hardware?

      Yes, if you want us to. We recommend what fits your home, whichever brand that is, and often the gear you already own is enough.

    • Who does the work?

      A FyrTech engineer who works on home networks and labs every week. You'll know who it is before any work starts.

    • How much does it cost?

      It depends on the project. After the call you get a written estimate, and nothing starts until you approve it.

    • Is it safe to give you access to my systems?

      You choose what we can reach. When we need a login of our own, you create an account just for the job and delete it when we're done.

    Tell us what you're running

    In 15 minutes we'll hear what you have and what's bothering you. If it's working fine, we'll say so.
