Morning all
Now I’m starting to get the hang of UNRAID I decided to take a step back to my UDM and finally sort my VLANs out. I’d done a bit of setup previously creating the networks and allowing/limiting traffic between, nothing complicated, probably over-simplified, but it worked.
To say I don’t know what I was really doing at the time would be an understatement. I had my security system isolated but hadn’t bothered to separate the default network out. It seemed easier just to start over so that’s what I did, deleted everything but default and clicked a button that brought in some new UniFi Firewall layout. Will have to watch some videos to see how that works now.
I’ve seen others lamenting the UniFi security and DNS, and that most have switched to another solution.
Unfortunately I’m low on servers at the minute, I’ve a Mac Mini Proxmox that I’m transferring over to the R730 UNRAID, and a Pi4. I had PiHole for a few months but found it slowed everything down, and it got annoying for my other half and his matched betting (ads and pops were required)
Of the 3 id rather use the PowerEdge as that has 2 10gbe cards that I could input and output with, but it doesn’t sound ideal.
I’ve seen mixed opinions on Fortinet hardware. They seem to be dirt cheap, but I’m assuming that’s because they’re out of date and can’t be updated?
