Your bridge isn’t bridging properly. If Router B is sending a destination unreachable then the packets are being handled on it further up the stack at layer 3 by some sort of routing component rather than by a layer 2 bridging one.
run ip route and ip route get $CLIENT_PUBLIC_IP on router B and see if it has a route to the client, and/or if the default route is correct. Its default gateway might not be set correctly (it should be router A)
and responds appropriately (SYN, ACK),
Does it respond to the client address (public IP?)
I’m not exactly sure what the previous issue was, but it appears that, possibly, the previous bridge that was in use was broken in some way. I have since switched the primary router to one that supports WDS, and created a WDS bridge between the two, and now everything is working as expected.
PiHole runs great on older Raspberry Pi’s(I am still using a pi3). Older models are still very easy to get and a readily available from the approved resellers list.
I use Blocky. I switched from PiHole because I didn’t have need for all the features (DHCP, Dashboard) and honestly it was a slow day and I had nothing better to do.
Thank you for your feedback, I’ll have to check on the machine later today. So far, I thought that the share had to be mounted once (on Nemo file manager for instance) so I could find it on the applications. If so, I did it already and it’s not showing anywhere else on the software I mentioned.
By the way if you have a suggestion of an application that works for you on this kind of setup I’d be glad to try.
You should really try the GitHub CLI, it’s amazing. I only use the GUI for tweaking settings and browsing here and there. Everything else you can do from JetBrains / Viscose native, including PRs.
For the money you’ll spend on drives, you may be able to pay for a year of space at somewhere like www.storj.io, and use something like Duplicati to backup to them.
Because even with a shiny new NAS, you’ll still need backup for it when it crashes, something is accidentally deleted, a drive hiccups and loses data, etc.
If you already have some stuff sitting around, spin up an UnRAID/TrueNAS, but still have a backup solution.
I might use some paid remote storage for an off site backup but i need something local as 0.6Mbps/s is about the best upload i can get without shilling out for starlink.
Hmm that’s a good point. Though I think it shouldn’t be too bad unless under heavy load all the time. I think the CPU is made for laptops. That said it’d definitely have to be doing more than just working as an opnsense box
