  • It has been a bit over 3 weeks and everything has been really smooth. I forgot to mention last time but I got the R86S-N with the N305. This was due to research showing that the N100 would not be able to hold 5gbits throughput and I wanted to have some wiggle room in case I upped the number of firewall rules.

    Getting consistent 5.5gbits down, 5.6gbits up on speed tests. Steam download peaks at 213MiB/s and holds around 190MiB/s(but this could be the max I can get from steam🤷).

    No issues with the R86S-N, no random reboots or forced reboots. Opnsense install was quick and didn’t cause issues.







  • +1 this. I went further and have a 3 node proxmox cluster with a mix of beelink and minisforum pcs. If I find that I need more cpu power I can add another node to the cluster and drop the weakest link and proxmox handles moving all the vms/lxcs

    At $50 a month using cloud services you could buy a very beefy mini pc but that also means you have to manage it. I’d say that it took about a month of setting up everything to get to a point where I only log into proxmox ~1-2 times a month.
