No hate from me.

Just about every project I've started with a pi has ended up working out a lot better as a vm on an x86 host. But lots of people seem to love them.

    To be fair It has its uses i suppose. I've had one running pihole since the original pi came out. Used PI2s in the past for OSMC and, even better, ambilight.

    I think now a cheap android TV box you can flash is probably better for a simple less than 5watt device.

    Besides the HA test I've been trying to use one to be an openvpn TAP interface but it's been a fight and i think you just convinced me to do it in another docker instance on the server and save myself some headaches.

    PiVPN was actually one of the things I thought the HW handled pretty well. Other than how much it ends up getting throttled by the 100Mbps link.

    It seems like it would but the pivpn install script always hangs on me whether i I select openvpn or wireguard. Based on some reading I was lead to believe I needed to just use raw openvpn for a TAP interface. I've tried a few times but I always end up with CA issues or just flat out failure to connect.

    It should be pretty simple, I'm just trying to bridge my network to a single remote device connected via cellular gateway. Maybe I'm just out of my depth. I've done it before with an old NAS years ago but I've tried a few step by step guides and no dice.

    If you have any tips that'd be great!
