I understand what you mean. It's become a habit of mine lately, and I learn lots in the discussion to.

In my defence I did run some tests and confirm it's functioning.

Like I said ip6 is useless when it comes to torrenting. Even if the tracker supports it it's not persavive with users connecting to you.

I dunno about him; but genuinely I'm excited about AI. Blows my mind each passing day ;)

Oh of you didn't want to mess with hardware setups, them it makes sense.

FYI, there are nas cases like the jonsbo, and Celeron processors that you can build entirely fanless too.

Hmm I see, you can always temporarily disconnect the drives too.

Thanks for the feed back. I started out with that post I referenced in my article, which had fewer entries. It didn't work. Caveat was although the online port checkers were reporting the port as open, it was not actually making through the tunnel!

I actually solved it by asking chatgpt!! I put in the suggestions and it worked. I'm also no expert on creating iptables, but once it was in place it seemed self explanatory.

I ran netcat as client-server to test it actually worked.

Huh, good to know. I'm out remember some of us have traffic in the TBs pretty month!

Haha incredible for a learning project 😄. Shining example of UX imo. Thanks

Yep, that I agree with

Since you're already building a custom server, isn't it just better to include HDDs in there, and have a single box? (just get a bigger case, SFF for example) It'd be good for power consumption as well. What are you trying to achieve with a separate NAS?
