    VPN Primer for Noobs

    My router only offers L2TP or PPTP for VPN (no open VPN). I cant simply buy one of the Asus routers with OpenVPN because it wont provide sufficient wifi coverage for my house like my Mesh network so for now im stuck with my current router. I also recently bought a dedicated Dell Optiplex...

    All excellent points, makes sense. The only thing holding me back from buying the i7-6700 i referenced earlier is it looks to be a OptiPlex 7040 SFF. From what i gather online that particular case only has room for 1 hard drive. I dont think windows would run well sharing space with the...

    One other point I'd like to bring up when shopping for a PC to run Blue Iris on is Windows 11 support. I'm reading a lot of the recommended PCs in the sticky will not support Win 11. So in a few years when Win 10 goes out of support, will those boxes have security vulnerabilities?

    Thank you for the info so far. I did read the sticky on Blue Iris. Unfortunately the "old" PC I have available is a Core 2 Duo with about 8 GB DDR2. I did see the same CPU listed on "Blue Iris Update Helper" but I believe it's less powerful than even an i3 which is the minimum CPU listed in...
