I want to undo some of my setup on my network so I can redo it in a different configuration on the same machine. The first thing I wanted to do was disable my Adguard server, making sure I could still use the internet after. I thought I had cleared out all of the settings in my router that made it use Adguard for DNS, but when I shut down Adguard afterward, all outside connectivity fell apart. I could still get to websites if I knew their specific IP address, but nothing that needed DNS worked. When I booted Adguard back up, everything started working again. I have tried several options in the DNS server settings in my Asus router (TUF-AX5400). Is there something I need to do in Adguard first to make this work? Or is this maybe something I need to reset in my Asus router and then give it time and a few reboots to work?

So this definitely seems like the guide that helped the most. I spent more hours than I would like to admit working on this over this weekend.

I am trying to figure out if I have a way to do what I want to here. When it was all said and done I could no longer log into the remote computer I was using to run my Jellyfin server. I have been messing around a little bit using a Linux PC with that, and enjoyed that aspect of things, but it seems like once you get hardware acceleration going, you cannot see the desktop anymore. There were several warnings about this so I wasn’t entirely surprised when it happened.

I think I am going to end up needing to get rid of the proxmox part, and just run Linux directly on the computer if I want to do this, and remote into it. It is currently not hooked up to a monitor and is actually on top of my kitchen cabinets out of the way. It was a fun challenge and I learned a lot I think.


Hardware Acceleration in Linux in Proxmox
I have a used Lenovo Thinkcenter 910 with a i5 7500T running Proxmox with Linux Mint in one VM and Adguard running in another. I’m just getting started so I am reading/searching for tons of answers still I was hoping to host Jellyfin within Linux Mint. It works pretty well, but I did notice while watching a movie the CPU was pretty well pegged out. I wanted to enable hardware based acceleration but when I started reading setup guides to hope to understand what I was doing, I think I may have painted myself into a corner already. I think I need to tell Proxmox to pass the hardware acceleration on to Linux, and then get Linux to, but also some of the things I have read make it sound like I need to have set up the VM from the beginning this way. Am I trying to do this the hard way somehow? Does anyone have any suggestions on the best guide to follow for this?
