Are you running with a signed cert on your domain? If you are go through and use Cloudflare as a DDNS to block those Russian hacker connection requests. I just geo block all countries I don't expect to get a connection from now. Was getting way way too many PHP remote execution and password hack attempts from Russia, China, Romania, Ukraine, etc.

Also if you are running a Plex stack, consider Unraid. I found it much better than Freenas after trialing both from a convenience standpoint for my Plex server replacement a few months ago. Certainly took a lot less time to configure and set up w/ the docker support.

I probably will be sticking with Intel just to have onboard TB at this point. Screw tracking down an expansion card.
Some X570 boards have TB headers, Asrocks boards do anyways.
