Curious about your home setup, what ISP are you using at home that lets you have essentially a /25 block of public IPs, let alone 40GbE of bandwidth? Especially if this is costing you $500/month.
- dsacco 9y agoI have Verizon Fios set up as a business account to my home. However that bandwidth is for SAN to workstation data processing and analysis. There's only half a gigabit of external internet bandwidth, but I have hundreds of terabytes of data (and high tens of gigabytes are downloaded per day) in local storage. With 128GB of RAM I can only load small amounts into memory for targeted analysis. Processing the rest of the data requires loading it directly from storage. To improve I/O performance I parallelize the transfer across link aggregated ethernet interfaces. Naturally that would cause disk reads to become a bottleneck; to take proper advantage of the network transfer speeds I hold all data in RAID 0 with 7200 RPM drives.
- cft 9y agoif your IPs are in a contiguous /25 , they can all be blocked with a single firewall rule. And detection is also easy. It only helps with rate limits. To avoid a block, you need a list of good socks5 proxies

- stordoff 9y agoCertainly curious about getting 40GbE bandwidth, but the IP addresses doesn't seem like much of a hurdle. I was looking at business broadband a couple of weeks ago, and getting 13 static IPs was only £5 extra a month. Going all the way up to a leased line included unlimited "subject to internet regulations".
