[Question] If I were to host a web server on an old pc, how would I isolate it from my network? (hexbear.net)

If the web server (or any server) gets compromised, how should I set it up as to avoid someone getting information about my home network?

vlans is one method.

You need a separate device to act as a firewall. See if you can get a device running OpenWRT or pfSense to manage your whole network (search those terms on eBay to find cheap devices pre-flashed) and put the server on its own VLAN with minimal access to the outside world and no access to your trusted LAN.

You'll want to look into the concept of a DMZ. Basically another subnet that's separated from your private LAN by a firewall.
