      How do you like the Sophos UTM? I was thinking about trying it out 🙂

      A few of my clients use it. Works great. It's at the top of the list as far as UTMs go IMO. Miles ahead of SonicWall. For an all-in-one solution it fits the bill. I normally just use my ERL but can switch to the VM for testing if need be.

        Dell 2950 running vmware esxi, with 2 guests at the moment (2008 AD server and a plex server on linux). The rest is boring network equipment.

          @hobbit666 Ahhhhh, OK 🙂 I host my personal site on, etc - so I figure that saves me $5/10 a month 🙂

          Does it though? How much are you paying in power and cooling to have the sever at home?

              Not really a lab. Just Plex and a Nginx proxy I was testing something with and was too lazy to connect to my hyper-v systems in the colo.

                I wonder if it would be possible to connect all the PLEX systems together for one massive library.

                  @Grey We could share everything with each other but I bet there would be a ton of duplicate media

                      I just feel like that may be going into a legal territory no one really wants to go.

                                Don't have a home lab anymore 😞

                                Mine is out with Colocation America now.

                                  Exactly! If you want to talk about Plex, feel free, but please start a new topic 😉

                                    Are you using qcow2 or raw for your Windows 10 VM?

                                        @hobbit666 I am using Wholesale Internet and Proxmox VE 5.0 - Just $30 a month.

                                        I can write up a short how-to if you interested.

                                        I'm shocked you haven't received a tongue lashing from @scottalanmiller for running Proxmox !
