If you're okay with that, then fine. It isn't as easy to use as the Dream Machine, and it's likely to be expensive. However, it should include most of the features you need and work well, depending on your hardware.
You're asking for clarification on how a network diagram should be structured. Typically, servers are placed inside the network and NAT is used to translate their private IP addresses to a public one. For instance, your servers might start with 10.1.1.100, and then NAT maps them to 30.1.1.100 if that IP is yours.
I don’t have a network diagram prepared yet, but on server1 I see the public IP address 185.117.0.1. When I connect the server through pfSense, that IP becomes unavailable because it blocks internet access. I still need that IP to function properly.
