October 29, 20241 yr I recently installed a 10G NIC on both my Client PC and Unraid Server (and actually got it working this time). On Unraid, my network interfaces are: eth0 - connected to my network switch. This is the motherboard's ethernet port. eth2 - directly connected to my client PC (10G) eth2 is configured with a static IP with my PC endpoint on the same subnet. Transferring files between endpoints works fine. My question: How do I get Unraid to route internet traffic from eth0 to eth2? The reason I ask is because I have two ethernet cables running out of both my PC and Server: one each for a connection to my switch one for the direct connection. This seems inefficient, because if the Unraid server is already connected to the WAN bridge on my Switch, it should be able to route WAN traffic to my PC over the direct 10G connection. The problem is this does not work by default, so I'm wondering what steps I need to take. I looked up an older solution on the forums here that suggested adding the 10G interface to the default network bridge. The problem with this is that it bottlenecks my speed to 750Mbps in iperf3.

October 29, 20241 yr The best solution was buying some cheaper 10G switch, then PC and Unraid each have one cable to switch.
