  1. The local lan subnet was set with the wrong CIDR. It’s has since been rectified.
  2. It was a subnetting issue. I'm not worried about the extra strain on this firewall. I push gigabit with IPS and traffic filtering and the CPU doesn't even hit 5%. In addition to this, I also have layer 3 switching happening ahead of this so really not my full concern. Thanks for the tip though.
  3. Try running nmap using this service...https://nmap.online/. This will check to see if there is the port open or if your ISP is blocking it. Also, don't use PPTP VPNs. Wireguard and OpenVPN are far more secure and mature than the dreaded PPTP and L2TP. Guide here...https://shebangthedolphins.net/vpn_openvpn_windows_server.html
  4. HI! So I am having some rules issues with my pfSense and allowing Plex from my primary LAN to my IoT LAN while blocking all traffic to all private networks. Logs and Rules Below I have tried rules in different positions, I have Plex set to notice different VLAN subnets as local, but I keep getting a connection refused What gives? Thanks in advance!
  5. Thank you for the suggestions! I will take those into consideration. I've been trying to expand my knowledge a little only because I am interested in pursuing a career track in IT. I enjoy the infrastructure design, setup, maintain and upgrade. Thanks!

  7. Hey folks, I’ve been noticing that my UnRaid server is getting a tad long in the tooth in terms of speed of docker containers running and the VMs. Granted the server is running on an old FX-8320 and 16GB of DDR3 ram. So I think it’s time to upgrade but I don’t know which path to take. Currently I’ve got an order to Amazon for the following parts list...https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xcnPVc (Note that all Purchased Items will be put into the new server from the old one.) On the other hand however, I also thought that maybe a used Dell R710 like this one...Click Here, would also be a viable option. It would be specced with 64 GB of Ram and the 6 drive caddies as blanks. The UnRaid Server runs the following: 2x Ubuntu 18.04 + Bind 9 DNS Server 2x Ubuntu 18.04 + PiHole 1x Ubuntu 18.04 + Poste.io Mail Server 1x Ubuntu 16.04 + UniFi Controller + Lets Encrypt Docker containers: Crashplan Backup Pro Plex Media Server NGinx Proxy Manager Syncthing Bitwarden MariaDB WordPress Website Nextcloud DuckDNS One more note, I've been wanting to tinker with PfSense and HAProxy. I currenly have a full UniFi network setup USG 3P->USW-16-POE->AP-AC-Lite, AP-AC-Pro, US-8-60W and a couple of cameras and a cloud key gen 2+. I was looking at this Dell R210 ii to run PfSense as I believe the chip supports AES-Ni and also I can add that NIc from the Unraid build to the Dell R210ii for more physical ports. Let me know your opinions and if I am over building these servers.
  8. Hello, I'm enlisting in some help for a client of mine. I'm fairly versed on the fundamentals of UNRaid as I run it myself, however, I wanted to run a few things by some more "informed" people to make sure I'm not crazy. I am looking at the following configuration for this post: So I need to do the following with this machine: Backup a desktop tower Backup a personal laptop Store photos and videos Nextcloud for "Secure" Data Storage (Prerequisite is MariaDB) OpenVPN (so I can get into the machine and network remotely if things go a rye) Plex for Music and Movies Notifications via app somehow My plan is to run this is a 2 Parity Drive setup with effectively 8 TB (~7.3 TB formatted) for the utmost in protection and the 240Gb SSd as a cache drive. The following issue lies though. With all of this running am I going to be: Stable Reliable I need help setting up the Nextcloud and MariaDB because everytime I setup the MariaDB, it doesn't connect to Nextcloud and I get two errors that say 504 Gateway or MySQL Server unreachable or connection refused. Please let me know your thoughts and if there is something cleaner I could use. Anything I may need to rethink? Thank you for your time -Mike
  9. Here's a parts list. IMHO I would also look at getting some usb pcie cards for "hotplug" usb so you don't need to reboot everytime you plug in a thumb drive.

  10. What if you were to go the more odd but practical and do the following: Build a High core count machine and install UNRaid on it with VM's GPU and USB passthrough.
  11. Hello,I'm new to docker as a whole so I'm going to have some dumb questions. I just wanted to put that upfront.Anyway, I have a client who is in need of syncing two UnRaid boxes in separate locations securely, safely but most important simply. I have heard good things about SyncThing (yes it can be run in Docker) from Tom Lawrence of Lawrence Systems on YouTube (I know a great reliable source) and wanted to give it a shot. The files are definitely needing to be synced and updated in as close to realtime as possible (business databases and Quickbooks files). I think it's secure because as long as you don't allow outside access minus the LAN to the GUI, and password protect the hell out of it, you should be okay. The only port needing to be opened is 22000/TCP and that's all. The boxes us a Unique ID that is encrypted by SyncThing and that's how you point the boxes together.Questions: Is this a good idea? Should I worry more about security? Any questions I should be asking myself? Thanks in advanceMike
  12. Okay. When I get pictures, I'l send them. IMO it is pretty well managed but I'll let the internet be the judge of that.

    HI You need to see this...!! https://www.youtub…

    This too.
  15. Oh lol, not even paying attention its 4AM with no sleep
  16. Oh okay there also the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ITX as well
  17. It's your best bet, If your going for a complete black with no lights no one can tell it's a small board
  18. Also case try NZXT H700i or H500i and for a card try An Asus Dual or Strix and disable LEDs
  19. For a board try an Asus Strix Z470-I Gaming and change the cooler to a Be Quiet Dark Rock 4
  20. IMO this is your best bet, you'd ned ot redo you entire home network and may be double NATed
