So I am a college student and for a project, I am very interested in whether or not there is ANY way for me to apply port security settings to the ports of an unmanaged switch. I realized that unmanaged switches do not have any sort of interface in which to naturally do this, unlike managed...

Hello everyone, A few years ago, I got bitten by the networking/Linux/virtualization bug and have been exploring these areas ever since. I built two NASes and a PFSense router with 5 VLANs, and am now focusing on networking. I am watching videos for the CompTIA Networking+ exam, but it's too...

Hi there, I've set up a small nextcloud instance on my home server. In the meantime, I connect directly via port forwarding and HTTP / HTTPS Port to the web interface of nextcloud. But because forwarding ports in the router could be a possible security risk, I want to avoid this practice. My...

@mmx01 I have a VM running VyOS I'm using as a packet pusher for a storage network. I'd like to offload it to an old E3 board I'm using as an OPNsense router. But my storage network is 40Gbps, and it's impossible for even a fast board to get that kind of throughput, let alone a dual core E3...
