Re: Global IPv4 with ARP and wireguard peers
>Has anyone tried to get something like this to work? >I dont get why it works for a while and then suddenly stops working!? Not with hacky ARP entries. I'd see if Frantech can get you a routed /30 or /29 with your main v4 address as next hop. It's essentially same thing with v6, they route a /48 to your v6 address after you set it to next hop in the routed subnet settings (and configure the VM with that v6 address).

It might be a cleaner implementation if you use relayd(8) to load balance requests, there's also relayctl(8) which you could use to gather diagnostics, etc. Personally, I have never attempted this with httpd alone.

Perhaps this is unsolicited advice, but maybe you can setup a test system first, perform major upgrade on it to make sure everything works. If so, then do it in production.

There is a talk on YouTube about using a few OpenBSD boxes with 10gb, maybe this helps somewhat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veqKM4bHesM

You can assign a /30 between the router and each computer, they can be adjacent within a larger subnet, but not overlap. Enable forwarding of packets between interfaces, and instead of using NAT, you can have the upstream configure a static route pointing to your subnets, or to a single aggregated subnet that encompasses all of them. If you are manually configuring each device on the network you won't need DHCP.

This may or may not sound stupid, but wouldn't an USB security key perhaps work for this use case? No keyboard or serial port needed.

You may have to disable BIOS secure boot option, and in some instances to enable the option to make this change you have to set a master/supervisor password first, then disable secure boot and try again.

On desktop the indentations render as expected, and on mobile it's formatted more like a table (justified). I don't see an issue here, and not sure if it's worth "fixing" the FAQ for every fringe end-user scenario. Personally I can get along with minor formatting issues, my main concern being the content itself.
Re: Home NAS
My experience with ZFS (FreeNAS for the most part) is that it becomes more "expensive" to expand your pool after the fact (for a couple of different reasons, see below), but if 5TB is all you're ever going to need in this specific case, I think you should be fine and can take advantage of ZFS features like you said. I have sources for this at home (a couple of articles and link to a forum thread), but these are saved on my desktop at home. Just let me know and I'll share them with you later.
