WAN Failover
Just set up WAN Failover on opnSense for the first time. About to take the fiber down in software and see if it switches over to the Shentel cable internet and how quickly it does it! It works, and it’s…
Setting Up a New Proxmox Hypervisor For a Client

2 gig Frontier Fiber Internet being installed!

My brain hurts…
Wheewww!!!! What a past couple of days. Broke my network countless times trying to figure out how to use NAT on Proxmox. I could not, for the life of me, get it figured out. I tried using iptables like so…
