I was going to use the built-in OpenVPN in TrueNAS until I found out it's going to be deprecated.

I only really need it for the qbitorrent/transmission and prowlarr/jackett (haven't decided yet) apps in TrueNAS, so I don't know what the next best option is.

I have found plenty of documentation on how to use the integrated OpenVPN feature of TrueNAS, but since the announcement of it's deprecation and future elimination is only ~2 months old, I haven't found any new documentation yet on alternate methods.

I see stuff about tailscale but that doesn't seem to be what I'm trying to do.

Thanks.

Shelly is proud of their devices being:

• No hub neeeded
• Not required to be online
• Compatible all major hubs if you do want to connect them.

I do not work for Shelly. I just really like how I don't have to use an app for them and they're compatible with seemingly everything. I've bought the devices and I can do what I want with them.

I had owned two of their smart plugs for a couple of years and they decided to stop responding to resetting and could talk to them. Shelly support sent out two new plugs for me and asked for the defective ones back so they could troubleshoot them. Great service.

Just seems that privacy-centric people should be using privacy focused devices.

They are headquartered in Germany so very unlikely they'll go back on their offline compatibility anytime soon.

TLDR:

1. Check out the inventory here and send me a PM. The Google Sheet is the Master; it stays updated with what's still available.
2. Check the RAM, Drives and PSU tabs for other components.
3. Provide serial number of item(s), paypal email address, and shipping zip code (I’m 08854, USA).
4. I will reply with the total price. If you accept, I'll send an invoice request through paypal (make sure your paypal mailing address is up to date).
5. Once paid, I will share tracking info when I ship.

Check out r/repurposeddattos to collaborate on these devices!

I have a new paypal so repeat buyers, don't be surprised. My main goal is to get these to people who can use them and save them from the landfill. Check out the inventory in the link above and let me know if you're interested. Some of the Datto ALTO 3 V2 units are missing SATA cables and case bottoms. I can't do anything about the cables, but I will 3D Print case bottoms for those without. Links to the .STLs are listed below for free if you want to DIY.

I have some AC adapters, RAM, and drives so you can have a complete unit shipped to you. Just pick and choose matching components from the Sheets to build it. I get these from other sources so they come and go.

Please check the very bottom of the post for answers before asking a question.

General Notes

• Please see Google Sheet (#1 in TLDR) to view inventory status. If all units of a model are sold out, I will strikeout/remove that item above.

• These units are sold as-is. I cannot guarantee how long they will last. I don't know where they come from. I’ve said in earlier posts on reddit, I get them from a metal scrapper who doesn't know computers. This is why I test 100% for functionality before listing them.

• I use Passmark's CPU Benchmarks to get a reference for these units. I've plugged in the CPUs of some listed above.

• MiniPCs with limited components (more working units than bottom cases, 2.5" SATA cables) will be sold complete by order priority until I run out, unless requested otherwise.

• I don't have many 2.5" drive screws. Sorry.

• User reports these units work on a wide range of voltages, perfect for battery use

• The Realtek RTL8111 Dual-NIC in many of these models is compatible with FreeBSD, which means they will work with OPNsense and pfSense

• Redditor u/MrDrMrs flashed the Zotac firmware on a S3X1

• I have WiFi Antennas for the WiFi models (ALTO 2 & S3X1 WiFi) available for $3. These are the ones I got

Referenced above

1. Here's an AC Adapter I've bought works well:

   • non-affiliate Amazon link
   • If you want to get one yourself: 19V @ 3.42A with 5.5mm/2.5mm (OD/ID) w/ positive center

2. WiFi/BT m.2 I’ve been referring (non-affiliate link)

   • Have not bought. Pulled Part No. off of Datto units with installed card. I have a couple extra listed on their own tab on the Google Sheet.

3. Datto BIOS password: R@str

4. One user reported a Celeron 3855U. I functionally test 100% of units, but not each unit's hardware specs if they are visually identical.

5. EDIT 12/20/2022 I no longer have OEM case bottoms. 3D Printed bottom covers will be available for $2.

6. Units lack 2.5" drive holder. 3D Printed piece will be available for $1.

7. FREE 3D PRINTED FILES. You're welcome to save a couple dollars and print these components out yourself.

   • 2.5" drive holder - Redditor /u/KeithMon created this one. I modeled the OEM drive bracket here.
   • Bottom for Datto ALTO 3 V2 - Design In Progress
   • Bottom for all other Datto Units
   • Alternate case for the ALTO 3 V2
   • Use 2280 m.2 drives on the ALTO 3 V2. Usually only fits 2260 m.2 drives.

8. Bottom case screws for the Datto ALTO 3 V2 are M2.5 x 40mm with a pan/flat head.

9. Bottom case screws for all Datto units (except ALTO 3 V2 & S4X1) are M3 thread. OEM screws have rubber heads that act as feet. I bought socket-head cap screws to use with the 3DP bottom cases which sit inside, letting the case rest directly on the surface.

10. See Mr. Chromebox for updating ChromeOS or installing Windows, Linux, or Kodi

11. Dell WYSE BIOS password: Fireport

12. Tutorial Installing Linux on a Dell WYSE Thin Client

    • Have not attempted. Cannot confirm.

13. WiFi Card for ALTO 3 V2. I tested one of these second hand. There are kits on Amazon that come with antennas.

I'm not going to sit here and pretend that reddit doesn't have some great features, this being one of my favorites.

The ones I use the most:

• A for upvote
• Z for downvote
• J to highlight next post
• K to highlight previous post.

Makes browsing very fast. Typically I click through all the links to different tabs and when I return to the homepage tab I use these shortcuts to fly through all of them and vote so I can refresh the page and they all disappear while still having contributed.

I provided Solidworks files if anyone wants to modify.

This is a 7.5 degree tent. I also provide .STLs for 10 & 15 degrees.
