Bought a Nuci7 extreme gen 9 I believe. Apparently only the i9 could do what I wanted but alas it was too late. It’ll have to do until it dies.

55w idle ~105w high load.

Proxmox server has firewall, all the hosts on proxmox have firewall enabled (in proxmox). Only allow my main device to access. No VLAN crosstalk permitted.

I don’t bother with anything else internally, if they’re inside they deserve to SSH with my default root / password credentials

If only the Minecraft server ports are forwarded it shouldnt be that big of a problem.
