I have a VM running OPNSense with a 2 port nic passed through (Unraid). I have a residential BGW320-500 in IP passthrough mode to the MAC address of the configured WAN port. In System > Gateways WAN_DHCP is the ip address of the BGW I have internet connectivity on the WAN, but only to sites that support IPv6. DHCPv4 is working for my connected devices, but I'm still not able to do anything on the internet over IPv4. What issue does this indicate and what can I look into to solve it. If i need to supply more information, please let me know.

I've never used the Unifi suite before, what can I expect with having a matching/non-matching switch and firewall? The option to spin up VMs or Docker containers is an attractive option. A major piece of software that they use is currently RDP based, but the company has discussed moving the solution out of the cloud. (Runs on windows server :\) This is what lead me to design this system in the first place. M365 isn't really an option as our Uplink speed is only double digits on a good day. Anything in particular you'd recommend? Brand, series, model, or otherwise.

Plan is to have storage setup in a way that can tolerate a drive failure. Something that I forgot to add in my post is that there are plausible scenarios where docker containers/other VMs being on network can be beneficial. The way that I see it, is this gives me extra flexibility for any future needs.

Hello, I've been tasked by a local business building an office to design their network and get it all off the ground. They have an emphasis on security and will need a NAS for their day to day operations. The network layout I had in mind is a rackmount server running Unraid (for SMB Nas) with a OPNSense VM (to act as Firewall/DHCP) and a Ubiquiti USW-48-POE Switch to handle general network switching. This NAS does not need to have super high transfer speeds, and the building will not be outfit with a wireless solution of any kind. My question is, is this over convoluted/am I at risk for high amounts of maintenance? Will this be something that can just "work" after setup. What am I missing in my topology? What don't I know to look out for? I'm relatively new to this space and am learning as I go along. So I'm open to any advice or warning that will prevent catastrophe. Thanks, Brady

Ah got it, excuse my ignorance!

Ok so I'm looking for a piece of software that runs Mac on a Windows PC. I know there are options like VMWare and Virtual Box but they are very laggy at times, I need something like a reverse boot-camp, a Hackintosh bootcamp. Would this be something Unraid could do for me? Im not very experienced at this subject. Thanks, Brady

Lol not mis-handeling just bad luck. Also not just talking bout me talking about the region.

No I ran a z170 that came DOA and another that I used until I started to do maintenance and the USB 3.0 pins on it broke, then I upgraded to the z270 which just recently died and now the new one is DOA. On the local parts dealers website it has way more returns then anyother MB that they sell.

So I noticed something weird. ASUS's Z_70 boards are always broken. Ive gone through at least 4 board within one year, exchanging as I go. Does this happen to other people? My local micro-center has 6 open boxes returns of the Z270E gaming and only one or two of all other boards.

Not anymore, tried to bootup this morning and its completely dead. To microcenter i go!

I believe it’s supposed to do that every time. It’s described as a *feature* ill still check though

OK, so I recently new motherboard after my previous one took a light swim (Long Story). Anyway, I couldn't afford a brand spankin new MB so I took a risk on a open box. This was not the right decision. Micro Center doesn't tell you why a product was returned. Anyway, so I get this motherboard and start getting everything setup and I start to put the CPU in. I look in the socket and my eyes lock on a abnormality in the socket. The pins were bent. Aside from the ignorance the Micro Center showed by putting the product up for sale, this was not my doing. I quickly looked up one of Linus's old videos on how to restore bent pins and went on with the build. I plug in everything and something weird happened. Now before I say what went wrong I want to say the the board I have (ASUS ROG STRIX Z270E Gaming) has a LED based POST State checker thing of sorts. Four LED's for each of the essential components. In order its CPU, RAM, VGA, BOOT DEVICE. The CPU light is a quick check and it lights up and then the RAM light comes on quickly, disappears, and the whole system reboots. Then when it reboots it quickly checks the CPU, then the ram lights stays on for a decent amount of time, disappears, then goes on to check the VGA and BOOT DEVICE and then powers on as normal. Is this dangerous? Once I saw the motherboard had pins bent that I bent back, (quite well if i do say so myself Kappa), became a temporary MB until I can drive the 1:15 hour round trip to Micro Center again. I'd still like to know if this is really bad. Specs that have anything to do with this. ASUS ROG STRIX Z270E Gaming Intel i7 6700k (Stock Speed like a newb) G-Skill Ripjaw 1 x 16gb stick Asus GTX 1070 8gb OC ROG AURA

Would there be any other way to determine? Don't have another stick of ram.

Thanks
