Agreed, any sort of desktop board from that era in a server is an absolute no-go
I've had enough bad experiences with trying to jerry-rig desktop boards (especially of that era) into servers to know to avoid it. It's not about when it fails (which it will), it is about the stability while it is 'working'.
If you push a machine 24/7 on a low-end desktop board from that era, it will panic/freeze/reboot once every month or so, unless you get lucky. Also realtek NIC is bad for any serious use.
It is a board suited for literally idling only, probably fine for home server type tasks.
so 1gbit over ipv6? my server would be behind cloudflare, so i would be best off using ipv6 in cf proxy, sounds good to me.
@darkimmortal Thanks! This should work (assuming Canada has the same port speed).
That happens on a "lucky few" Kimsufi servers in France (might happen in Canada, havent seen it though)
It's the classic Kimsufi lottery, you may get it and you may not.
Definitely a good idea to setup CF via the IPv6 to profit from it : ) but wouldn't rely on it forever because OVH folks could limit that router-side at any time if they wished.
