    [US-NJ][WTB] 1U (or larger) rack mounted appliance to use as a firewall for OPNSense. Fanless + low power ideal

    If you have access to a 3d printer I would imagine you could print off some small fan brackets that the top screws for the hdd's that secure them to the riser. I have seen similar elsewhere for some hot running high speed nics. For me, I went poor man cooling. Thermal pads and heat sink on each...

    [US-NJ][WTB] 1U (or larger) rack mounted appliance to use as a firewall for OPNSense. Fanless + low power ideal

    I have one of these 4 u.2 to pcie cards and it rocks. I am recommending one of these to you based on your OP. Couple of caveats. #1 It is LONG... Make sure you have a case to fit. The sata power adapter is on the end so consider that clearance need as well. I used a 90* connector on mine in my...

    Proxmox CT networking issue

    Can we get a diagram of the pieces and which port is connected to what. An L1 & L2 diagram would be helpful. proxmox: you set it to vlan aware but I am missing the vlan assignments for the same. Pfsense: You will wan to have an "permit any to any" between vlans for testing and can adjust it...

    Proxmox CT networking issue

    You need to provide more specifics. Screen shots of the pfsense interface configuration, vlans (if any), firewall rules and a basic diagram of the port/interface connections to help us understand the packet flows etc.. Just based on pings one way but not the other it sounds like your ports are...

    Engenius ECW230 (Wifi6 4x4 AP) - $125

    Thanks @Dave Corder , the ecw230 looks good in my fit container. The data collection and display is nice. Will see how it rolls for stability now. For anyone curious my fit container is an a debian LXC in Proxmox, 2 cores, 4gb ram & 32gb hdd space. Its overkill as shown. I could go down to 1...

    Engenius ECW230 (Wifi6 4x4 AP) - $125

    @Dave Corder my cloud account has both the 230 in your place and the 2nd I have at my home. Weird (to me) is that in the cloud portal both show their true model but to get the 230 to connect to my VM ezMaster I had to use your freedom firmware. In ezMaster it reports accurate to the firmware...

    Engenius ECW230 (Wifi6 4x4 AP) - $125

    Thanks again Dave. I googled but zero results for the firmware itself. Now if / when the AP is restored to a functional state, I have the goods! I pinged you on the side with the loss of access to the AP. (trying to revert from the hak firmware) Thanks again guys! Always an adventure and not...

    Engenius ECW230 (Wifi6 4x4 AP) - $125

    @bvd do you have and can share, or if not, how do I get the newer firmware for my ecw230 APs so I can flash them to new enough so I can then proceed to add them to my vm fit controller as you noted previous is a new feature they allow. I had been running the dave hak firmware but am ready for...

    CWWK/Topton/... Nxxx quad NIC router

    The extra nic ports can be used for multiple WAN, multiple LAN ports. These fall outside of the basic design needs of most average home networks.

    CWWK/Topton/... Nxxx quad NIC router

    If you need or plan to need the extra ports there is value otherwise they sit idle and your wallet is lighter. Really it's up to your needs.

    EXPIRED Kioxia XG8 1TB M.2 PCIe4 $48 shipped

    Whoa, don't get so defensive. I think you misunderstood my statement / question. Was curious what folks intended use was for these used drives . The term "fair" is accurate but you seem to taken it as impuning the price/value. A fair price is not low or high, it's fair. Nothing I posted was...

    EXPIRED Kioxia XG8 1TB M.2 PCIe4 $48 shipped

    Not to thread dump but what is the use case since these are listed as used and no claim to remaining life? These are consumer grade nvme drives meaning no especially high life cycle like a DC nvme. The price is fair for used but Re you guys trusting these in your proxmox or other homelabs?

As it is fun to see someone else builds, if you are up for it how about outlining the scheme, applications, performance and temps/power draw. example, unRaid storage config: 6 20tb drives in one primary pool with zfs, 1 stripe drive for parity, two ssd in...

    i225/i226 Intel NICs in 2024 - Still Issues?

    Same as fta here. I have a six port appliance NICs (6 port i226). I run Proxmox and have a couple VMs (including pfSense) and several LXC without problems. I also have a nuc style pc with dual i226 running windows. Zero issues with any of the NICs.
