  • My box sits in my closet, so can’t really help much with docker or vm. But I use sunshine server with moonlight client. Keep in mind you can’t fight latency that comes from distance between server and client. I can use 4/5G for turn based or active pause games but wouldn’t try anything real time. On cable my ping is under ms, enough to play shooters as badly as I do these days.

    I use AMD for CPU and GPU, and wouldn’t try nvidia if using Linux as sever.

    I did use to run a VM in xenserver/xcp-ng and passthrough gpu with a mock hdmi screen plug. A windows 10 vm, ran very well bar pretty crap CPU but I did get around 30fps in 1080p tarkov, sometimes more with amd upscalling. Back then I was using parsec, but found sunshine and moonlight works better for me.

    I should also mention I never tried to support multiple users. You can probably play “local” multiplayer with both parsec and moonlight, but any setup that shares one GPU will require some vgpu proprietary fuckery, so easiest is to buy a PC with multiple gpus and assign one to each VM directly.






  • I think this lead me on the right path: https://community.ui.com/questions/Having-trouble-allowing-WOL-fowarding/5fa05081-125f-402b-a20c-ef1080e288d8#answer/5653fc4f-4d3a-4061-866c-f4c20f10d9b9

    This is for edgerouter, which is what I use, but I suppose opensense can do this just as well.

    Keep in mind, don’t use 1.1.1.1 for your forwarding address, use one in your LAN range, just outside of DHCP because this type of static routing will mess up a connection to anything actually on this IP.

    This is how it looks in my edge os config:

    protocols {
      static {
        arp 10.0.40.114 {
          hwaddr ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
        }
      }
    }
    

    10.0.40.114 is the address I use to forward WoL broadcast to.

    Then I use an app called Wake On Lan on Android and set it up like this: Hostname/IP/Broadcast address: 10.0.40.114 Device IP: [actual IP I want to wake up on the same VLAN/physical network] WOL Port: 9

    This works fine if you’re using the router as the gateway for both VPN and LAN, but it will get messy with masquarade and NAT - then you have to use port forwarding I guess, and it should work from WAN.

    I just wanted it to be over VPN to limit my exposure (even if WoL packets aren’t especially scary).
