You’re going to have a hard time trying to get that working over the WAN (if that’s even possible).

Wake on LAN is still encapsulated in an IP packet, so you can send it over the internet, and most WOL clients let you specify an IP. However your router will need to DNAT it to a broadcast address. Some routers have a check box for this (e.g. An ISP provided Technicolor router I have), some let you port forward to broadcast (e.g. Many routers, sometimes with workarounds), and some let you manually configure NAT (e.g. MikroTik routers).

So it is possible, but forwarding public internet traffic to a broadcast address seems like a bad idea, and I wouldn’t recommend it. Why I know this: I used to do this in middle school, and it does work quite well.

Depending on your BIOS and with fast boot, you might need to just hold one of the keys while booting instead of spamming it on boot.

If you just want an IPv6 prefix and don’t need the encryption a VPN provides, you can use an IPv6 broker. Hurricane Electric’s broker is a popular one.

Yeah thats fair enough. The ACS override patch should still have better isolation and speed than anything else you can do without native ACS, the security implications are just it’s theoretically possible to intercept another PCIe device’s traffic through the NIC; you can read more here.

SR-IOV works by presenting one device as many, which you can passthrough one of those to your VM. Meaning SR-IOV only works through PCIe passthrough, so you’d have to figure that out first. The GPU guides should get you most of the way there.

Some distros include an ACS patch into their kernel (e.g. Proxmox, and I think CachyOS), which lets you passthrough devices without hardware support (but lacking some security features).

I believe it might be possible to ‘passthrough’ the VF from the host without PCIe passthrough (I’ve only done this with containers though), but performance is often worse than just using a bridge.

To prove your point even more, WannaCrypt has a platinum rating on WineHQ.

The browser extension also lets you scan the page for QR codes for the TOTP key.

And I feel like it’s not a good idea to have a modem directly attached to the pc directly unless you’re using it as a router?

Yeah I feel like this is the issue. The modem/router would be firewalling between the networks hiding the PC behind it.

Also from the description, does OP have a router at all? Is their ISP somehow just allocating public IPs to everything? Do your IPs start with 192.168 or something else?

The EMC2101 is a slightly modified clone of the LM63, so if you connect it to your board’s I2C bus and instantiate the lm63 driver to the right address, it should show up in lm-sensors like a normal PC fan. Or there’s userspace python drivers, if you don’t need a kernel hwmon interface or can’t get it to work.

They probably mean the QEMU guest tools. But you set it up once, and never touch it again.
