I have a recently acquired a SYS-5019A-FTN4 for pretty cheap as a primary network box: running things such as NUT, DNS, Wireguard, TailScale, Zabbix, Wol, etc., and It’s done great, but for some reason has an issue with the 6.2+ kernels. So I’m thinking of replacing it before I run into maintenance issues over time, and maybe use it as a new opnsense server.
Would this be able to handle 10G+, or would something else be better?
What Supermicro box did you go with?
