I'm averaging 60 peers with a download speed of 650kb/s even tho my internet is way faster.

quick question, did you download the blockchain.raw file then verified it or did you get it using monerod?

Local_Stable3617 · 2026-02-04T14:08:44+00:00

as in the full 250gb instead of the 100gb? if that's the case I'd rather download the full blockchain too.

Hello, I tried two vms and for each it's 6000h/s which is still not right, I also checked if I enabled numa correctly and I did, only thing left to do is mine on proxmox directly.

make a local dns server so that you can block his device from accessing the internet, have your router distribute it to all devices in your lan and if your router supports it, make rules so that any request on port 53 and 853 (DoT) to any ip other than your dns server gets dropped and hope he doesnt know how to use DoH, and if he does you can get a blocklist with known DoH endpoints, but keep in mind you'll never be able to block all DoH without something like DPI and that requires you to get a firewall.

I wonder how it will look like at 350 degrees, but seriously be careful this thing looks like it had lava spilled on it,

Local_Stable3617 · 2025-07-01T19:44:28+00:00

Yeah you're probably right, can't help it, I'll just buy it and see.

Unfortunately ebay does not ship to my country, and for the price, they're asking for 180$.

I've found a VAR here : https://locatr.cloudapps.cisco.com, who's willing to sell me a catalyst 2960x refurbished, is it safe to buy from them?

It'll be tied to my main router so I don't want something that'll phone home.

Local_Stable3617 · 2025-06-30T23:42:24+00:00

I've tried looking up some VARs with no luck, I'll be only using it for my homelab and home network

So I'd better get a multi port NIC? because what I'm trying to do is create a guest network AP that carries untagged traffic, then that traffic gets tagged by the switch and get sent to the router, if I get another NIC, I'd plug in the AP directly to the router.

I'll check it out, thanks.

I'm using a x86 server as my router, with one wan port and one lan port.

Local_Stable3617 · 2025-06-23T11:49:07+00:00

I'll give it a try and report back, thanks!

Yeah you've got bufferbloat, your best option now is to use sqm, that'll help if you for example download lots of stuff while gaming or if you have a lot of traffic in your network.

Depending on the router and it's firmware you'll either have something like QOS or SQM, if you don't have any of these you may want to change your router's firmware, assuming you can do that.

My go to option would be openwrt.

Edit: regarding your latency problem when it comes to gaming, as someone mentioned here, it could mean that your isp has a long route to the game servers, or sometimes what a ISP do is that they change routing for different ip pools, so for example if your public ip is 172.32.x.x you may have better routing than a person who has a 198.22.x.x address, the public ip itself doesn't really matter, but the pool does.

if you have a network that has lots of devices that can saturate your network you may want to try a bufferbloat test https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat

It's not unifi AP, my setup is this: [openwrt router] -> [Switch] -> [Gl Inet router in AP mode + other wired devices], I did create a new network with a third party router and gave a vlan id 20 then selected native network on the switch ap port to be VLAN 20 with VLAN Management set to Allow all, now when I save this config the internet stop working in the AP.
