This seems to be a very recent thing where my backups to Google Drive using Hybrid Backup Sync keep failing.

I have a few backup jobs, one for each top level folder on my NAS, to backup to Google Drive for each user. This is all set up under my admin account.

Now with Google Drive, it says that it is connected and I have re-authenticated as well, and while some more recent files have copied over, many others have not.

For a few years, I have trusted that all my data is copying over, basically mirroring what is on the NAS but over to Google Drive.

I know that storage is adequate for the time being so not a capacity issue. The error log also doesn't give much away, unless Google is blocking the connection and in that case then, there is nothing I can do.

I may need some suggestions as for cloud storage as I doubt I be getting 2TB any cheaper than £35 a year from Turkey.

I'm just conscious that I have only what is on NAS plus some rsync job to some external storage attached to the NAS but I run those from my Mac periodically to take full backups.

Anyone else experiencing issues with Google Drive lately? I added some exclusions also, for files that Google Drive is known to have issues with backing up.

Are there folder or directory path character limits?

I'm being recommended BackBlaze S3 but then I've not looked at cost yet and wondering if this is too much for my needs. I like that Google Drive is there as an app on my iPhone and I can pull files irrespective of whether I have my VPN on or not, and the downloads are faster from Cloud storage than from NAS.

In this case, my NAS is not in my home, its elsewhere so downloads are faster everywhere, or irrespective of where I am except for physical NAS location if out and about.

Hello everyone,

Just got some questions about running Wireguard VPN configs on my UniFi Express 6.

For some time, I've been doing this where I grab my Wireguard configs from each of my VPS locations. I then upload the client configs onto the UniFi and then use Policy based routing to route traffic to the Wireguard on each VPS.

I've had different results depending on server also.

Without VPN, I can get anywhere from around 115Mbps up to around 180Mbps on download, with up to around 15Mbps upload but usually it is around 8Mbps upload.

If I run VPN on my phone only, so not via the UniFi, speeds I am getting are close to the above. It's around the 115Mbps at a minimum.

If I connect to Wi-Fi of the UniFi and it is sending traffic through the VPN, I'm lucky if I get 30Mbps download and about 5Mbps up.

Now I know the processor and this being a budget UniFi box has something to do with it, but even then on some other VPN configs, I get slightly better results. They're not always at the bottom end but mostly they are.

I'm running PiVPN and specifically Wireguard in my case. Are there any settings I could be missing or anything I can do to improve performance? MTU perhaps? No idea how much that matters between each VPS as I set all of mine up in the same way.

I've obviously tried Stremio on iOS, along with UHF and Vidi but wondering now what is best?

Vidi doesn't like me using more than one instance of Torrentio from Stremio, while Stremio is happy with both TorBox and RD.

I was advised of AIO being an option to point at multiple providers but I'm not familiar with that yet.

As for Vidi, I noticed when searching for content, it doesn't return all the same results I see when using UHF or Stremio.

Am I missing something here? What's the most polished interface on iOS and Apple TV?

I've just got an Oracle Account with Ashburn set as region. I don't seem to be able to create an ARM instance, no matter what the domain location.

I seem to remember there used to be AMD Always Free options but I don't see these anymore?

Any suggestions, or do I just keep trying?

I have an IONOS server, no use for this case. I have also tried RackNerd/Colocrossing and same in this case.

To be specific, I want it for VPN or Proxy in US and so that I can use with HBO Max.

Located in the UK and would like to know best server location for HBO Max USA Library. I tend to use my own VPS where possible and point at those but in this case, the one I am using is blocked when going to play content.

I've read reports online that suggest you can pay for HBO Max via Google Play. Is this true? Is it country specific?

I have been looking around, tried from Google Play on mobile and also from Android TV but when signing in with account, it directs me to log in with account via browser to continue to payment where there is no integration with Google Play.

I have a Toshiba TV running VIDAA and did ask on a VIDAA sub a while back but no response on my question there.

Knowing Hisense TV's run on VIDAA, even if only some or all, I'm not sure, I figured it would be good place to ask my questions here.

I am in UK so have what I think is UK app store. It has UK based apps on it such as BBC, ITV, NOW, and more.

I also see Paramount+ but the issue here is, I have a USA account for Paramount+. So far as I can see, the USA account requires a USA regionalised version of the app. The app appears to look identical to the international version though.

I am wondering what apps are on VIDAA USA App Store as I'd expect NOW TV then not to be on there. It also looks like I can't have it both ways? By this, I mean, I want to open Paramount+ USA and still have NOW TV app on my TV.

On Apple and Android devices, you can switch stores to download different country apps but doubt that would work here, unless someone can tell me otherwise?
