This is what I used in a small/mid sized company to replace a legacy VPN, generally we had only very few issues but probably the employee personal computer is to blame, right now is very stable.

To get to the gym, have a healthy diet and move across Europe.

I can highly recommend Netbird selfhosted, it has SSO support, logins, complex network topologies, it uses wireguard under the hood and it’s open source.

Same thing here, either tailscale selfhosted or Netbird selfhosted I’d the way to go for all the nice features, having the free tier or tailscale for personal data never sounded right to me.

Basically yes, I use the 4 SAS drives for bulk storage, 40TB raw/20TB on RAID10 for backups and media storage, + I run some VMs on an ssd disk that I installed in the DVD bay.

The R710 has 12 cores across 2 CPUs and 192 GB of ram, my workloads are primarily RAM heavy, I run over 50 services on the homelab.

The R710 uses around 160w on average, while the R320 uses 80w.

The SFF PCs should draw under 40w each, sonfor the some power consumption I should be able to get 4 SFF PCs with more CPU cores but a bit less memory.
