I would like to experiment with things like VPN and hosting a web site at home, which I understand require port forwarding on the home router (Cisco E1200). However being able to tinker with this network is not an option (the rest of the family uses it).
It seems the only way that I can this is to have my own router that does not go through the cisco router before being connected to the internet. I would like some help figuring out how to have two isolated home networks. I understand that ISP’s issue a single public IP address. Is it possible, or otherwise plausible to put a switch or router between the modem and two routers? Or would a second modem and public IP address be needed for this? I appreciate any and all ideas.
Thank you in advance for your time. I apologize if this is a double post, but I can’t find any information on this.
