just wanted to mention that ChatGPT can write ansible scripts for you. the only caveat is that the script will need some fine tuning and debugging since its rarely perfect, assuming thats due to the many different sources its pulling from. also wanted to mention NextDNS as an option for the kids wifi, as it has built in time limits and will keep track of what sites they go to. includes ad blocking by default. forward your internal dns to nextdns for a seemingly robust solution. thanks for all.

I'm a big fan of verifying throughput after every new wire pull. I know various testers can check for bad wires, length issues, & "certify" negotiation speed. But a 30-60 second iPerf test lets me know for sure if I'm getting what I expect. Just put a device on either end, one in iPerf server mode, one in iPerf client mode & run a time based test (for example: iperf3 -c 192.168.1.92 -d -t 60). It runs on Linux, Mac and Windows. I've even run it on a Chromebook. Longer tests = better assurance.

just a reminder that the way LACP works you only use both links when multiple clients are involved. I.e if you do a file transfer from your pc to your NAS you are only going to get 10G because the way the hashing works all that traffic will only traverse one of the LACP links. however if we’re say backing up a bunch of machines some of the traffic would go over the second link. but it’s never quite 50/50, one link will always tend to have more traffic than the other.

When you get the new OPNsense box built, I’d love to see some iPerf3 tests for throughput across the two 10G interfaces, both on the same vlan and across vlans. I’m curious how much of that 10G you can actually get with this setup.
