It’s selective. You just provide the internal address or the Tailscale host name. All other traffic runs outside of the vpn tunnel.

Honestly it takes 10 mins to set up you should try it out.

Well yes but that’s a one-time setup.

Back in the days of dial up and bbs this was a problem but you would still get robots trying to connect to modems by dialing every phone number possible.

A mix of that and tomato paste, fish oil, garlic, ginger would probably mix things up for you.

I’m guessing you could substitute a 2:1 mix of paprika:cayenne.

Tailscale meets your needs even without an exit node configured.

Why are they so much more expensive…

Because people will pay that much for those features. You can find managed switches for $60 pretty easily. Until you get into the 48port blades they don’t change a whole lot, so the higher prices are typically from different ways to trick you into paying more.

Some features like line rate, buffers, do add to the cost though.

I’ve owned them for a while but agree. I’m also going to pick up 1 or 2 rack chassis models soon for free, which I would recommend over paying for a qnap.

Slap your knees , say “whelp…” then stand up and walk away.

I answered the 2nd part of the question.

Pay up.

Off the shelf NAS like Synology or qnap both have this feature.

No I don’t think that would work.

I went with a nas since I needed storage and barely any compute, and I wanted it on all of the time. I also wanted a cloud sync service.

Keep in mind that SMB and NFS work fine across any network but iSCSI needs a reliable hardwire network with decent buffers on the switch.

Attaches storage uses USB which isn’t that great. eSATA is better. External drives start to add up too.

It’s a backwards compatibility issue. MS has been telling people for years that defaults are not secure. I have enterprise grade equipment in production that doesn’t support smb signing by default.

Shit is crazy.

How did Novell mess up netware? If anything Novell should have teamed up with IBM or Apple to take on end user productivity.

Wasn’t 4 still a flat directory? I’m talking about 5 when it got serious.

Novell solved directory services 25 years ago. It took MS 10 to catch up.

Whenever I hear about invasive plants or animals I always wonder if it’s geo-politics.

• Invasive bees.
• Invasive mollusks and fish in lakes and rivers.
• Invasive plants that are a lot more flammable.
