Maybe a stupid question, but isn’t it just easier to get a secondhand AP on eBay or something than deal with this windows WiFi BS?
You ask about future proofing but Windows 10 is EoL in 8 months.

Pretty sure samba won’t do anything if you haven’t configured it. Make sure you do some basic setup first:
You are a legend
This is your life now, if you move and wake them you will have committed a great crime.
My personal opinion, as soon as you’re charging and providing SLAs you’ve exceeded what you should be doing on a residential ISP.
I’d really recommend putting your app in a real cloud solution, which can provide actual load balancing via DNS natively for regional failover if you desire.
For what OP is asking DNS has no part in DNAT, they need a load balancer.
Personally, asking about high uptime on a residential ISP is the larger issue here, but alas.
Every “plug and play” NAS I’ve had has been garbage, riddled with adware and had to be firewalled from the internet. After a year they just get insanely slow because they put the worlds’s cheapest ARM SoC in there.
Personally just take your drives out and stick them in an old PC and install truenas, or just straight ZFS on Debian. Then you can run your containers on the same machine like Jellyfin, etc.
fyi you can get a wildcard from letsencrypt for free
There’s nothing bad per se, but obviously not sharing the inner workings of your internet facing server is just another step to protect yourself.
You mention in the OP this is for a business, my opinion you should be working on a professional resource/developer to manage this for you and not random Lemmy users.
On the use of Caddy, your configs here host a lot of sites with many specific configurations, I’m not sure caddy can support all of this. nginx is the tool of choice for a wide majority of the internet for a good reason.
I ran opnsense in a VM for years with no issue, just recently went to dedicated hardware. Every now and then I’d want to replace a drive or swap the GPU in the host for jellyfin and taking the internet out with it sucks a lot.
Being able to snapshot opnsense is cool, but opnsense also has a very robust backup and restore system so idk.
fanboy downvotes aside, this is a nexus 6P
the visor returns
An AP is just a WiFi point, you can use pretty much any AP with your pfsense router.
That’s what most of us do, using this windows VM just for WiFi is only going to cause you a headache in the future.
