While I was writing a post on how to route specific WEB traffic through VPN, I’ve got inspired and decided to write another post on how to route specific DEVICES (your NAS server, laptop, iPhone, etc) through VPN while the rest of your house still uses the default ISP gateway. This kind of approach might…
For those who followed my previous post on how to configure a VPN client on pfSense, one cool application for it is to route only specific websites through the VPN while the rest of the traffic goes through the default ISP gateway, as usual. That is interesting when you want to use an IP from…
If you are like me, you probably got most of your gear at eBay, Facebook Marketplace, Craig’s List, OfferUp, etc. From time to time, things break or they come with missing parts, etc. I don’t know about you, but I go a long way to make my Homelab as nit as possible. Recently I’ve acquired…
In this post we are going to enable E-mail alerts for both our Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) and Proxmox Backup Server (PBS). The email server will be backed my GMail, which also works if you have Google Suite and a custom domain, such as yourdomain.com! Although I have separate PBS and PVE configuration in two…
In this post we are going to configure a NFS share on our Synology NAS so that Proxmox Backup Server can use it as storage (aka Datastore) for all VMs and container backups. The first step is to configure NFS share on your Synology, then we need to mount the NFS share on the server…

As I am just getting started with it, I don’t want to commit with a paid version, but who knows when I finally get the hang of it. If you think like me, this post will describe how to configure Proxmox PBS package…
If you recently upgraded to pfSense 2.5, you may have received notifications about some CA/Certificate entries close to expiring. The exact message would be something like “The following CA/Certificate entries are expiring: Certificate Authority: Acmecert: O=Let’s Encrypt, CN=Let’s Encrypt Authority X3, C=US” The fix is quite simple, just visit System >> Cert Manager >> CAs…

Recently I have added a Supermicro X10DRi-T4+ to my homelab and a natural idea was to install a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate and replace the original self-signed one. For such, I had to adapt a couple python scripts [1] [2] first published by Jari Turkia. None of them worked for Supermicro X10DRi-T4+, but it wasn’t…
As bufferbloat.net defines it, “Bufferbloat is the undesirable latency that comes from a router or other network equipment buffering too much data. It is a huge drag on Internet performance created, ironically, by previous attempts to make it work better. The one-sentence summary is “Bloated buffers lead to network-crippling latency spikes. The bad news is…
