  • First: there is no cheap way to back this amount of data up. AWS Glacier would be about $200/mo, PLUS bandwidth transfer charges, which would be something like $500. R2 would be about $750/mo, no transfer charges. So assume that most companies with some sort of whacky, competing product would be billed by either of these companies with you as a consumer, and you can figure out how this is the baseline of what you’ll be getting charged from them.

    50TB of what? If it’s just readily available stuff you can download again, skip backing that up. Only keep personal effects, and see how much you can reduce this number by.




  • They do no such thing.

    The first link explains the protocol.

    The second explains WHY one would refer to client and server with regards to Wireguard.

    My point ties both together to explain why people would use client and server with regards to the protocol itself, and a common configuration where this would be necessary for clarification. Ties both of them together, and makes my point from my original comment, which also refers to OP’s comment.

    I’m not digging you, just illustrating a correction so you’re not running around misinformed.

    It wasn’t clear where OP was trying to make a point, just that the same host would be running running Wireguard for some reason, which one would assume means virtualization of some sort, meaning the host machine is the primary hub/server.



  • Uhhhh…that is…not how you do that. Especially if you’re describing routing out from a container to an edge device and back into your host machine instead of using bridged network or another virtual router on the host.

    Like if you absolutely had to have a segmented network between hosts a la datacenter/cloud, you’d still create a virtual fabric or SDLAN/WAN to connect them, and that’s like going WAY out of your way.

    Wireguard for this purpose makes even less sense.
