in regards to the amd one has anyone run truenas core or scale

is it a safe bet that the mobo supports a 5600g out-of-the-box with out firmware update

can i install a pci multi port Ethernet card an run truenas with router os in a vm an config some of

the ports as vlan’s an leave the others as just normal lan ports, is this something i can do vi

router os or pfsense an from a vm in truenas

i want to use the

QNAP QXG-2G4T-I225 Quad-Port 2.5 GbE Network Expansion Card

an set two of the ports as vlans an leave the other as is

also can i run in a vm the apk app Firewalla XAPK 1.51.84 by Firewalla Inc.

to control an manage my FIREWALLA GOLD ROUTER rather then from my android tablet

my goal is to make an have a one master device to serve as my

nas / media hub / specific task vm / giga-switch , rather then 4 separate devices an pair it with

with a 20in monitor an K400 Plus Wireless Touch Keyboard

is this at all doable do you think an what do you think of my suggested parts
