I used pFSense for years until Netgate took over. That is when I switched to OPNSense (maybe 2019/2020, don’t remember excatly). Since then, I’ve had OPNSense (runnign on a Lenovo m720q tiny) and Unifi (APs and UNVR) for wireless and cameras. I like this setup, it gives me all the advanced routing features I want and have become accustomed. I’m sure Unifi routers are good for most use cases and would have the added convenience of one interface for everything. However, I’ve not been impressed with price to performance ratios for their past offerings (ie. the routing capabilities of OPNsense with an i5 CPU and option for swapping a quad port 1gbe nic to a dual port 10gbe nic) is hard to compete against. That said, the UDM-SE looks interesting.

I really like Connect. Not sure if it’s “the best” but it’s free and does everything I need it to.

MAM is why I have a seedbox.

Fair, lol.

I installed mine on OPNsense. I used the OPNsense documentation: https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/wireguard-client.html. Here is another guide: https://www.comparitech.com/blog/vpn-privacy/road-warrior-vpn-wireguard-opnsense/. And yet another if you want to set it up in docker: https://linuxiac.com/how-to-set-up-wireguard-vpn-with-docker/. However, the firewall rules can get a bit messy.

Why add the third party? Just run an instance of wireguard on your home network and call it a day.

I’m running two Lenovo Tiny PCs with the 5650ge for my kids to play minecraft and Fall Guys (can connect them to the VESA mounts on the back of the monitor). This opens up a whole new level of gaming in that micro form factor.

W-A-S-D for sure. Can’t believe the things people are trying to do these days, “omm-figuh”! /s

Awesome, but what’s up with the chonk leg?

So I don’t use overseerr but I do use jellyseerr with my emby setup. Both are just webservers that use a webpage/site that you can login to and add/search for content that will then be sent to your -arr stack and finally indexed into Plex/Emby. You can install overseerr on whatever machine you like, but to access it your other devices need to know where to find it (ie IP:port of hosting machine). You should really set up overseerr on a machine that runs continuously, so like others have said, likely the machine you run Plex on.

I personally take this a step further and use an internal custom domain name (ie. jellyseerr.mymedia.com) that can be accessed from any device on my internal network. I set my router to capture all domain requests for “mymedia.com” and redirect them to a reverse proxy (swag in my case) that will then forward the requests to different IP:port combinations based on subdomain. For example: emby.mymedia.com, jellyseerr.mymedia.com, radarr.mymedia.com, etc. This allows you to access all your services using easy to remember domain names instead of IP addresses.

This is always my go to.

Nice! I’ll have to check it out. Scifi and fantasy are 90% of what I read/listen to, lol.

What are you listening to? I’m just about finished with Rebecca Yarros - Fourth Wing.

That looks great. Seems it would work well if you don’t want the server options that come with audiobookshelf.

MAM is by far the best. MAM coupled with audiobookshelf is an Audible replacement.

Ubiquity has always felt a bit shoddy and hacked together. Reminds me of the bad USB sticks in the NVR or the shitty G4 doorbells that would die after 18-24 months from a bad converter board.

No need for VPN, but keep the SSL on SABnzbd. At some point I should probably switch over from nzbget, but it’s been solid for years.

Thanks! I’m here trying to Google fu all of these words. I’ve never even considered looking for ways to get this type of content for free. Good to know this exists!

Recently picked up a pair of ASUS VG27AQ. I had to calibrate them with my x1 idisplay, but the end result was quite good.

Lol, I ran a very simple pfsense box on a R710 for years. The most expensive router I’ve ever had (due to power costs).
