    How much RAM for Raspberry PiVPN?

    For those running OpenVPN or WireGuard on a Raspberry Pi how much RAM do you think is necessary? The Raspberry Pi 4 comes in 1GB ($34), 2GB ($35), 4GB ($55) and 8GB ($75).

Can you add an additional HDD drive using the extra SATA? according to one post...

    Conduit or Not?

    Looking for advice on whether the hassle, appearance and cost of running conduit on the outside of a residential install is worth it? I recently purchased a 16ch PoE system and I'm about to install 14 PoE cameras using Cat 6. I've been debating whether it's worth running all the Cat 6 for all 14...
