Thank you for trying to help, and sorry for my tardiness. I use Unify UDR as my firewall, but have not found any blocked entries in the logs for the Unraid host or the DelugeVPN Container. Please find attached the 2 logs you requested. supervisord.log CommandExecution.txt edit: after I had the files attached I let it run longer and there seems to be some randomness involved. 2025-10-15 14:17:29,148 DEBG 'start-script' stdout output: [debug] Having issues resolving name 'www.google.com' [debug] Retrying in 5 secs...

No, I am not using tailscale at all. Using pihole but haven't changed it in a long time.

Hi, I have been using binhex vpn dockers for a long time. Recently, it has stopped working. I tried reconfiguring, reinstalling, redownloading the open vpn config and cert files but no luck. The VPN seems to get established, I can see the login on the VPN site, but there is an error (ERROR: Linux route add command failed) in the logs and the dns lookup for google.com does not work. Here are parts of my logs. Let me know what other details I can provide to help you help me. 2025-10-11 18:35:15,837 DEBG 'start-script' stdout output: iptable_mangle 16384 1 ip_tables 28672 5 iptable_filter,iptable_nat,iptable_mangle x_tables 45056 12 ip6table_filter,xt_conntrack,iptable_filter,xt_tcpudp,xt_addrtype,xt_nat,ip6_tables,ip_tables,iptable_nat,xt_MASQUERADE,iptable_mangle,xt_mark 2025-10-11 18:35:15,837 DEBG 'start-script' stdout output: [info] iptable_mangle support detected, adding fwmark for tables 2025-10-11 18:35:15,896 DEBG 'start-script' stdout output: [info] iptables defined as follows... -------------------- 2025-10-11 18:35:15,898 DEBG 'start-script' stdout output: -P INPUT DROP -P FORWARD DROP -P OUTPUT DROP -A INPUT -s 80.254.79.100/32 -i eth0 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s 192.168.2.0/24 -d 192.168.2.0/24 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s 80.254.79.100/32 -i eth0 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 8112 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i eth0 -p udp -m udp --dport 8112 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s 192.168.2.0/24 -d 192.168.2.0/24 -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 58846 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p icmp -m icmp --icmp-type 0 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i tun0 -j ACCEPT -A OUTPUT -d 80.254.79.100/32 -o eth0 -j ACCEPT -A OUTPUT -s 192.168.2.0/24 -d 192.168.2.0/24 -j ACCEPT -A OUTPUT -d 80.254.79.100/32 -o eth0 -j ACCEPT -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --sport 8112 -j ACCEPT -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p udp -m udp --sport 8112 -j ACCEPT -A OUTPUT -s 192.168.2.0/24 -d 192.168.2.0/24 -o eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --sport 58846 -j ACCEPT -A OUTPUT -p icmp -m icmp --icmp-type 8 -j ACCEPT -A OUTPUT -o lo -j ACCEPT -A OUTPUT -o tun0 -j ACCEPT 2025-10-11 18:35:15,900 DEBG 'start-script' stdout output: -------------------- 2025-10-11 18:35:15,900 DEBG 'start-script' stdout output: [debug] VPN remote configuration options as follows...

Thanks for confirming the approach is valid. Going with option 1. Your extra option of keeping disk2 in the array is not an option as I run out of slots for disks in the case. To increase capacity I will upgrade more disks as required. Currently, I am in the process of rebuilding disk1 onto disk5. then pre-clear the old parity disk (disk4) then rebuild disk2 onto disk4 This will give me 4 disks in the array all less than 3yrs old with an extra 4TB of space. and the old disk2 as a spare for the 2 4TB drives. next I will look for good deals on 8TB disks (as spare and as capacity extension)

Hi, I have been lucky and have not had any bad disk failures in almost 10 years of Unraid usage. But we all know it is just a matter of time. Therefore I am considering upgrading my oldest disks to larger or newer ones. This is my setup: 12TB array 75% full Parity WD RED 8TB (new, 2 month power on) Disk 1 WD RED 4TB 80% full (9 yrs power on) (has some smart errors and needs to go) Disk 2 WD RED 4TB 80% full (7 yrs power on) Disk 3 WD RED 4TB 50% full (2 yrs power on) not in the array: Disk 4 WD RED 4TB former parity disk (almost new 0.5 yrs power on) Disk 5 WD RED 8TB (new, not installed yet) Disk 1 and 2 hold the oldest data and are accessed less frequently All new data goes to disk 3 at the moment. My important data is also backed up offsite to the cloud. please sanity-check my plan option 1 1) install and pre-clear Disk 5 (8TB) 2) remove disk 1 and let it rebuild onto disk 5 3) remove disk 2 and let it rebuild onto disk 4 -> result: the 2 oldest disks are removed and an extra 4TB is added to the array / no spares / 4 drives in the array option 2 1) install and pre-clear Disk 5 (8TB) 2) remove disk 1 and let it rebuild onto disk 5 3) move data from disk 2 to disk 5 4) remove disk 2 -> result: the 2 oldest disks are removed but no extra storage is added / disk 4 as spare for 4TB drive or extra storage / only 3 drives in the array Does it make sense to load the new disk with the old data that is not used often? Any other option I should consider? Thanks

I just wanted to update my post here. After the initial issues I had with the board, I returned the board and got a new one. The process was pretty straightforward but very slow with multiple interactions with the vendor via Aliexpress. Once the new board arrived it all just worked!

OK, that was "easy" renamed the EFI- folder to EFI and now it boots 🙂 on to the next problem ...

OK, it has been a long time, but I have returned my board and received a new one. Everything seems to be OK now. Except, my trusty old USB stick is not booting anymore. I got a unraid trial onto another USB and that works. Is my USB dead? Is there a way to test it? I tried it in all different ports. The BIOS recognizes it and shows it as boot option, but it wont boot. It is a SanDisk Cruzer Fit 16GB. The bios boot options offers it's Partition 1 as boot option. I am not sure what the partitioning on it is. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!

Thanks for your reply. I tried again. Just plugged in power, HDMI and keyboard. No beeps, nothing on monitor, no Caps or NumLock light on keyboard. CPU fan is spinning and the power pins are working. A bit disappointed myself. It seems so simple, there is not much I could have done wrong here .... I have the same board. It has CW-N5105-NAS Ver. 1.0 printed on it.

their support suggested that I need 2666MHz RAM rather then the one I have that is supposed to be compatible with 2666MHz. Anyway, I ordered some and we will have to wait now.

Yes, there is a buzzer on the board, but it keeps quiet. Thanks for your help.

unfortunately it gives no sign of life. Removed it from the case, removed RAM, removed all connectors except the power. The CPU fan spins up, but nothing else happens. No beep at all. The PSU has the 24 and 8 pin power cords where the 8pin splits into 2 x 4 pin. Does it matter which of the 4pin plugs is used? I know I need the 24 + 4 pin connected.

Here is my first problem. The board does not start! - I installed the memeory on the board. - Plugged in the power 24 pin and 4 pin - connected the case power switch and power leds - connected the case fan to the board - no disks or usb connected when I switch the power on, the case fans start, the power led on the front of the case lights up, the case fans are running. Light in the netowork port is flikering where I plugged in the cable. But there is no video output, no beep, the fan in PSU is not running and I am not sure the fan on the CPU is running. Where do I go from here?? Thanks

some pictures once done ...
