What is your favourite lightweight microcomputer for PiHole+Unbound?

I’m trying to free up my Pi 3b which is overkill for a PiHole with Unbound DNS and am looking to try something other than a pi zero. What are your recommendations! A few brands that come to mind are LibreComputer, NanoPi, BananaPi, and OrangePi. Bonus points if it’s possible to set up with POE!...

If you already have a virtualization host can just use a VM as well.

I did for a while but stopped because it’s a massive pain and far easier to just use proton or something.

Can't figure out why my computer defaults to the 1gig lan, rather than 40gig for connection to nas

So I was recently gifted some Mellanox 40gig network cards that I installed in my NAS and my desktop and connected with AOC fiber. I gave them both static IP addresses on their own dedicated subnet that’s not used anywhere else in my network. I was able to run iperf3 between both computers, and that worked exactly as expected....

Sounds like route tables are finding a priority match on the 1gb interface. Are you 100% sure the NAS connection is truly not an overlapping subnet with the 1gb nic?

I’d say this, companies deploying new windows server installs aren’t long for this world.

Even banks and insurance companies are pushing to containerization, Linux, and the cloud.

My best advice would be to make sure you enable static port mapping on your NAT rules. That usually helps a lot of NAT traversal things like games.

And no, Nintendo doesn’t understand networking in the slightest and asking people to forward every single port is BS.

It just adds a static route so that if dynamic route tables change it doesn’t have to wait to re-learn the new routes to start pinging that IP again.

It won’t change your gateway routing for normal traffic.
