Hello @cptnoblivious Would you be willing to expand upon your setup please? What do you mean by multiple servers? Why do you use tailscale when Meshnet exists? Do you find adguard home better than nextdns or controld? Is there a reason you don't use Peter Lowe's lists? They seem pretty good...

Thank you Colin! I should not have included tailscale. What ad blocking do you use? I like adguard though it uses the VPN on my android. If I used nordvpn with mesh, I think that some connect to their own adguard home. Others use nextdns. Do you have any tips tricks or recommendations? Peace.

Hello all, how do of any of you best accomplished doing ad blocking along with Nord VPN or the other vpn services or Tailscale. Do you run ad guard home and reference that server? across Nord or Tailscale? What is an optimal way to use a vpn for protection and all get great ad blocking like...

I assume you mean that opnsense or pfsense is the Ferrari?

Thank you so much for these comments.

@Tech9 I notice in your signature that you are running Unifi OS for your router. Are you happier with that? I would have thought that you would be using OPNSense as your router firewall with its flexibility.

Thank you @Tech9 Good comment on roi related to purchases. I suppose that gigabit components are cheap but I think why not enjoy the bandwidth being paid for.... Though if ping speed is 13-16 ms and I am getting 960Mbps on wired..... Do I really need 2.5 gbps? Need/want. I will look around and...

@Tech9 Thank you for your ongoing excellent support and encouragement in this community. I have appreciated many of your posts! What does 'all with native vlan support mean'? Do you have any recommendation for cost effective yet robust, reliable hardware components? Thank you in advance...

@Some1 thank you for the detailed reply. Sounds like that is the direction I will go. I have yet to fully setup proxmox but I will be there in the next month. I have an older think Centre pc that will take a dual nic Intel card. Then do I run any additional containers on that proxmox? Sounds...

Thank you for the guide Dave!

Hello all. Such great minds and hearts here. I am a very technical sales engineer and administer dozens of cloud environments and perform moderate sql, batch and powershell scripting. However, I am a newbie to linux. I have loaded into a VM a time or two. I am not afraid of anything though...

Hello all, Do you use NextDNS, Cleanbrowsing, OpenDNS to block unwanted content on a family network? I was wondering what your experience has been especially with NextDNS versus Cleanbrowsing. Thank you for any comments in advance. I have an Asus AX86U for my router......many devices.....

@Smokey613 WAF, I had to look it up and laugh at that one! @Smokey613 @SuperFreaky @Tech9 I agree with many if not all of your sentiments for my situation. I too returned the GT-AX6000 and other equipment. I have a used ax86u that is working spectacularly for my home, basement and outdoors...

Thank you @jsz Wonderful experiential information. I had the gt-ax6000 and then sent it back. I purchased a lightly used ax86u on Facebook marketplace and it is spectacular in my 2100 Sq ft two floor house. I was going to use my ac86u as a bridge node but it all works so well I don't need to...

Great points. Thank you for your response. Interesting thoughts on other options....there is TMobile Home Internet in my area too. Come to think on it, I do quite a bit of uploading to Microsoft Teams drives, and yes a laptop backup client that uploads but is throttles. I have 5 active people...
