As of today - 27/08/2026, plug in solar is legal in the UK.

And I intend to run an experiment...

There is a good chance that if you use Proxmox, you've heard of the fantastic collection of community scripts that are available to make your life easier when it comes to administering your node(s).

The Ruckus icx7150, namely the icx7150-24p makes for a fantastic homelab network switch in my opinion. It has 24x1gb poe ethernet ports combined with 4xSFP+ 10gb ports and can operate in a silent 'fanless' mode (albeit at a reduced 150w of poe power, as opposed to 370w with fans enabled).

The problem

I run dual stack throughout my network; IPv4 and IPv6. When using DNS over HTTPS (DoH) on Routeros, I would regularly receive DNS DoH timeout errors in my log, even when running ROS 7.23+ where the DoH implementation has been greatly improved.
