The point of a 10G NIC is to be 10x faster than a 1G NIC. Most 10G NIC’s only work at 1G and 10G, they do not do the new 2.5G or 5G, for that you need a newer 10G NIC that will use these lower speeds which in terms makes no sense because you can just get a 2.5G or 5G NIC instead. You confuse your internet connection with your local network. Your local network can run at 10G while your internet runs perfectly fine at 1G, the other way around the same. If you have a 10G internet connection you need a 10G local network to actually make use of that 10G internet connection. If you have a 1G internet connection, the only reason to have a 10G local network, is because you have lots of data that you regularly move around, and you think 125MB/s is too slow. Other than that, there is no need for 10G in any home network.

SMB.

Every webcam provides an RTSP stream already and most have a webui with the live stream or do you mean to stream via a website publicliy available on the web?

Transmission and then your normal *arr stack.

I think we can all agree that a CPU from 2007 which does not support VT-x is not a good pick even for something that is just meant for education.

sshfs-win is something if you don’t like vscode.

A simple webserver secured by htaccess is not inherit insecure, but there are a lot of steps you can take to improve security further: Like proper authentication via OICD or something similar. Only access to the server via VPN, files encrypted, and so on.

How about just learning to do it yourself with your current script? It’s not that hard and a great lesson into scripting.

Check your routing. You probably forgot to push the routes of your security camera subnet to your client config.

Peering cost. You have very low cost to no cost for ingress but have to pay for egress. This way they basically save a lot of money.
