1 year agoI actually run a HP 800 G3 tower I needed the 5 1/2 drive bay for my blue-ray drive, with a i7-7000 it will do fantastic, mine runs my NAS. Jellyfin, Hand break, and Makemkv in containers doesn’t have any issues can handle 3-4 streams with no issues
I have T-Mobiles Internet @Home, and CTL fiber both routed into my OpenWrt router, configured to do fail over
My primary is 200/200 fiber, and uses 5G as failover.
I host my VPN on a small vps, with nginx proxy manager, it routes my service’s back to my router using wireguard
My openwrt router is a Pi 4 operating as a “router on a stick” currently, I use an Aruba 2920 switch to achieve this but can also be done with usb Ethernet adapters.
I hear MicoTik has some good cheap hardware and is extremely powerful router capable of the same things at reasonable price, but my openwrt has worked for me for many years.
