Build: unboxing to Plex

Seven stops. You rows are yours. Claude rows run over SSH from the tower while you watch, or while you sleep. Tick rows as you go; this page remembers per device.

Stop 0Before build day

• Claude Installer stick, done Oct 10. Claude wrote Debian 13.7's netinst file debian-13.7.0-amd64-netinst.iso (it matches Debian's published checksum) onto your SanDisk stick and read it back: a byte for byte match. Keep it with the NAS for build night. Why: the stick boots the installer that puts Debian on the new 1TB drive.
• You What is left before build night. Nothing to buy. On the Inventory tab: two spare outlets for Oct 16 to 18, and two step login on Proton and Plex.
• You Oct 15, read the RAM label. It must say M425R1GB4BB0-CWM or M425R1GB4PB0-CWM, the two Samsung parts on UGREEN's approved list. Anything else goes back.
• Claude Tower side, done Oct 10. A login key just for the NAS, the ssh nas shortcut, and the app passwords saved in your .env. Nothing to do.

Stop 1Unbox and install the parts Fri, Oct 16, 30 minutes

• You Unbox the NAS. Leave the four drive bays empty tonight and both WD Elements in their boxes. Keep every box for 30 days. Why: during the install only two disks should exist, the stock 128GB UGOS drive and your new 1TB. Fewer disks, no wrong pick.
• You RAM and the 1TB drive go in.
  Steps

  1. Unplugged. Pry out the rubber feet, remove the screws under them, lift the base off.
  2. Leave the small 128GB UGOS drive alone (it has a thermal pad). It is your way back to stock.
  3. RAM into the free slot: notch lined up, in at an angle, press down until both clips catch.
  4. The TEAMGROUP G50 into an empty M.2 slot on UGREEN's thermal pad. No heatsink; UGREEN does not support one.
  5. Base back on.
• You Plug it in. One CAT6 to a free port on the UniFi switch (not port 17, that is the access point), power through the UPS, then the cabinet's monitor and keyboard.

Stop 2BIOS and Debian Oct 16, about 1 hour

• You BIOS check. Power on and tap Ctrl+F12 (fallback Ctrl+F2). Confirm 16GB of memory and the 1TB drive. Set Advanced > Watchdog Timer > Disabled, then save and exit. Why: the Debian wiki says to. The watchdog restarts a box that never checks in with it, and on Debian nothing does.
• You Install Debian. Ctrl+F12 again, boot the USB stick, pick Install.
  Every screen that matters

  1. Location United States, time zone Mountain.
  2. Hostname nas, domain blank.
  3. Root password: leave it blank, so your user gets sudo.
  4. User grant, with a password you will type twice more tonight.
  5. Partitioning: Guided, use entire disk, the ~1.0 TB disk. Never the ~128 GB one. All files in one partition.
  6. "Force UEFI installation?" Yes. Without it the BIOS will not offer the new drive as bootable.
  7. Software: untick the desktop and GNOME, tick SSH server and standard system utilities.
  8. Reboot and pull the stick. If UGOS comes up instead, Ctrl+F12, pick debian, and move it first in the boot order.
• You Note its address. Log in on the monitor, type ip -br a, and give that address a DHCP reservation on the EdgeRouter: Services, DHCP Server, LAN1, Actions, Configure Static Map. It also asks for the NAS's MAC address; type ip -br link and use the line with the same name.
• You Hand it to Claude. On the tower, run the handoff script with that address. It asks for your NAS password twice, then prints HANDOFF_OK. Tell Claude "the NAS is up".
  The command

  In Windows Terminal, from C:\Users\Exterminator\Documents\Claude\Projects\HomeServer\nas_kit

  powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File nas_handoff.ps1 -NasIp 192.168.130.X

  It installs the tower's NAS key, points ssh nas at the box, and adds a temporary sudo rule with no password that the last stop removes.

Stop 3Test both drives before opening them Oct 16 to 18, it runs alone

• You Plug both WD Elements into the NAS's USB ports, still in their cases. Each one also plugs into the wall with its own power brick. Why: this is the only window where a bad drive goes back to Amazon intact.
• Claude Base setup, then the long drive tests. Updates, a firewall that allows your home network only, key only SSH, a Quick Sync check, then a full surface test of both drives, about 1.5 days. ZFS installs while they run. Pass means "Completed without error" and zero reallocated, pending and uncorrectable sectors.

Stop 4Shuck, mirror, copy about Oct 18

• You Shuck both drives into bays 1 and 2.
  Steps

  1. Guitar picks along the case seam, slide the drive out, unscrew the little USB board.
  2. Write down each serial number. Bag each empty case with its USB board, screws and power brick, and write that serial on the bag. WD covers these drives for 2 years (the third year is only for orders from WD). If one dies inside that, put it back in its own case before you send it.
  3. Into bays 1 and 2. If Claude cannot see a drive, Kapton tape over the first three pins of its SATA power connector fixes it. Pin 3 tells the drive to stay off when the power supply sends 3.3 volts.
• Claude Asks first Build the mirror. Claude shows both serials and the test results, and waits for your "wipe ok". Then the two drives become one ZFS mirror of about 18.2 TiB. Why it asks: this erases both drives. The script also refuses the boot drive, anything under 15 TB, any serial that does not match, and any drive that already holds a pool, so a reinstall later can never wipe the library. ZFS comes from Debian's stable list (2.3.9) and updates itself with the rest of the system; say "backports" before this step if you want the newer 2.4.4.
• Claude Turn on the alarms and safety nets. The NAS posts to your Discord, as "NAS", when a drive or the pool has trouble or one of its jobs fails. First you see a "NAS alerts are on" line and a finished test scrub. Why before the copy: the library lands on a box that already speaks up when something breaks.
  What watches what

  Safety net	What it does	What you see
  Pool alarm	ZFS's own watcher reports a failing or missing drive, damaged data, and every finished scrub, healthy ones too, so silence means trouble	A Discord post
  Drive tests	A short self test on each drive every night, a long one each month, the two drives two weeks apart	A post only if a test or a drive reading goes bad
  Job alarm	Any of the NAS's own jobs that fails posts its name and last words. If Discord or the internet is down, it tries again in a minute, then less often, up to once an hour, until it lands	A Discord post
  Snapshots	Each app's settings: hourly for a day, daily for two weeks, weekly for two months, monthly for six. The media: daily, kept 3 days	Nothing. If an update breaks one app, Claude rolls back just that app
  Docker waits for the pool	The apps cannot start until every part of the pool is mounted, so nothing ever writes to the boot drive by mistake	A Discord post if Docker cannot start
  Log cap	Each app's log is capped in size and rotated	Nothing

  Tested Oct 11, 2026 on a throwaway Debian 13 with a fake Discord: 80 checks pass, and 23 bugs planted on purpose are each caught. Not run yet: a real drive, the real pool, the real Discord. Details in the Honesty log.

• Claude Copy the library off E:. A network share for the tower, then an overnight copy of Movie Center 2 (6.2 TiB, about 17 to 18 hours), then a second pass that must find nothing left to copy. Nothing on E: is ever changed. Movie Center 2 holds more than movies, so each kind goes to its own shelf and every loose movie gets a folder of its own. Afterwards, leave E: as it is. Until the NAS has a backup of its own, E: is the only other copy. Why first: E: shows a health warning, so this copy is also the rescue.
  Where each folder lands

  On E:	Goes to	Then
  Movie folders, plus 148 loose movie files	Movies, one folder each	Radarr adopts them (Stop 6)
  GoT and 8 more shows (about 490 GB)	TV	Sonarr adopts and renames them. The commentary tracks on 34 GoT episodes (Seasons 1 to 4) come along; pick one under Audio while it plays
  The older Game of Thrones copy (303 GB)	Its episodes stay on E: only. All 65 are already in GoT, 64 of them the same file byte for byte (the other was a mislabeled 720p copy)	Its 37 extras go to the show's Featurettes folder with clean names, where Plex lists them as extras. Its pictures and notes are parked
  GoT Season 8 subtitles (in a Subs folder)	Next to each episode, under the episode's name	Plex finds them by name
  Music (two folders)	Music	Plex, Plexamp and Jellyfin
  Audio Books, and The Singularity Is Near	Audiobooks	Audiobookshelf
  uTorrent, an Adobe installer, a PDF	Parked	Not media

  Measured Oct 10, 2026, by copy_plan.py in the kit. Three movie folders hold no movie; Stop 6 says what happens to them.

Stop 5Plex and Jellyfin while the copy runs

• Claude Docker and the apps. Plex, Jellyfin, Seerr, Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr and Audiobookshelf start in Docker, each on an exact version, reachable from home only.
• You Claim Plex. Signed in, open plex.tv/claim and paste the code to Claude. It dies after 4 minutes. Claude then adds the movie, TV and music libraries to Plex and Jellyfin and the audiobook and podcast libraries to Audiobookshelf, makes your logins, and turns on Quick Sync in Jellyfin. Why: it ties the server to your Plex account so your apps find it.
• You Then sign in on the TV and phone. The Plex app finds the server by itself. Jellyfin is at http://<NAS address>:8096 and Audiobookshelf at http://<NAS address>:13378, both with the NAS_APP login in your .env. If either shows a setup screen instead, Claude is not done; leave it alone. On the phone: music in Plexamp. Audiobooks and podcasts in Audiobookshelf's own app on Android (beta). Its iPhone beta is full, so use an App Store app that connects to Audiobookshelf. Reddit users name Prologue, Plappa and Soundleaf (prices not checked).
  Why some movies play with no sound straight off a drive

  Your TV is a 2020 LG CX. LG left DTS sound out of its 2020 TVs. About a third of your movies (187 of 575 files, including 12 of the 20 highest quality copies) carry only DTS sound, so the TV's own player plays them with no sound. Among the TV files, 50 of 212 are DTS only too, mostly Game of Thrones extras. Five more movies use VC-1 video inside .mkv, which LG lists for .asf and .wmv files only, so they may not open at all.

  Played through the Plex or Jellyfin app on the same TV, they work: the NAS converts the sound as it plays, free in both apps. VC-1 also needs the picture converted: free with Quick Sync in Jellyfin; in Plex, Quick Sync needs Plex Pass, otherwise the processor does it. Later, if you want them right straight off a drive too, Claude can add a Dolby Digital 5.1 track to each of those files once (the DTS track stays) and convert the five VC-1 movies. Nothing else in the library troubles this TV: no 4K files, no Dolby Vision, nothing over 35 Mbps of video.

  Scanned Oct 10, 2026: every video on E:, read only. Sources: Emby forum, Jul 2, 2020 (owners: the 2020 models have no DTS license), TechRadar, Mar 31, 2025 (LG dropped DTS in 2020 and brought it back in 2023), LG's webOS 5.0 format list (VC-1 for .asf and .wmv only; its sound list still says DTS, which owners and the press say the 2020 TVs dropped).

• You Your call Plex Pass: start free. If you buy, buy in Black Friday week. Playing at home on a TV that handles the file is free. Pass adds Quick Sync conversion and watching away from home. Jellyfin does the conversion free, so try it first. If you buy it, turn on Plex Settings > Transcoder > Use hardware acceleration when available.
  Prices and when to buy, read on plex.tv Oct 10, 2026

  When to buy. Plex put the Pass on sale in Black Friday week every year from 2020 to 2025. In 2025 it was 40% off every plan with code ANYPASS40, Nov 24 to Dec 1 (Plex's sale page that week). 2020 to 2024 were 25% off lifetime only. Nothing is announced for 2026. If Plex keeps the pattern, the sale runs Mon Nov 23 to Cyber Monday Nov 30 (estimate), so look at the plans page on Nov 23. A daily watch on the tower (on the NAS later) reads Plex's sale banner, its Plex Pass blog, Slickdeals, the news and Plex's emails to you, and pings your Discord the day a sale or code shows up. In 2025 the sale leaked on Slickdeals on Nov 21, three days early.

  If 2025's 40% off repeats	Sale price (estimate)	Then
  Yearly	$41.99 first year	Renews at $69.99
  5 years	about $149.99	New plan since Jul 1, 2026, so its sale terms are unknown
  Lifetime	about $449.99	Only if you are sure of 10 or more years

  If Plex goes back to 25% off lifetime only, lifetime is about $562.49 and the rest stay at list. There is no Plex Pass trial; the 14 day trial is for Remote Watch Pass only. No cart or cancel discount turned up in reports from 2022 on; the daily watch also reads Plex's emails to you in case one ever comes. Do not start a monthly to qualify: a free account already counts as new, and the credit for the unused days of a monthly comes to about $1 to $6 (Plex's upgrade rules). At checkout, type the code even if the page still shows full price, and buy on plex.tv, not in a phone app store.

  Plan	Price	Worth it when
  Free	$0	Home TVs play your files directly
  Plex Pass monthly	$6.99/mo	A device stutters. Try one month
  Plex Pass yearly	$69.99/yr	You keep it
  Plex Pass 5 years	$249.99	You keep it past about 3.6 years
  Plex Pass lifetime	$749.99	Past about 11 years of yearly. It was $249.99 until Jul 1, 2026
  Remote Watch Pass	$2.99/mo or $29.99/yr	Away from home streaming only

  Away from home. Outside the house, Plex plays your own movies and shows only with a pass, and that holds in every Plex app: phone, TV, Roku, game console, computer and web. If you, the server owner, have Plex Pass, everyone you share with is covered too. Without it, each viewer needs their own Plex Pass or a Remote Watch Pass. Smart TVs, LG included, joined the rule Mar 23, 2026. Music in Plexamp is exempt. (Plex's rules, last changed Apr 10, 2026, and its Smart TV notice of Mar 11, 2026; both read Oct 11.)

  Plex plans. HDR tone mapping on 13th gen Intel is reported flaky, so test one HDR movie before paying.

Stop 6Movies that add themselves

• You VPN: done Oct 10. You bought Proton VPN Plus for 2 years, and its WireGuard key is already in your .env, so on build day Claude just loads it. Downloads only ever run through the VPN; with it down, the downloader has no internet at all.
  Why not Avira, and the dates to watch

  • Avira's VPN cannot run on the NAS. It works only inside Avira's own apps, and Avira lists Windows, Mac, Android and iOS. Avira's community manager: "there aren't any configuration profiles that can be exported". Keep Avira on your devices until it ends; Proton covers 10 devices after that.
  • Why Proton. It works with gluetun (the VPN container here) on WireGuard, with port forwarding built in. Downloads are allowed only on its P2P servers (Proton: "P2P is only available on paid Proton VPN plans"), so the kit picks only those. The free plan cannot do this job.
  • Oct 10, 2027: the NAS key (config "nas") expires. Renew it on Proton's downloads page before then, or downloads stop. Nothing leaks; they just stop.
  • Oct 10, 2028: the 2 year price ends and the plan renews yearly at the full rate. Claude checks for a cheaper way a few weeks before, and checks that your card on file still works. Both dates are on your Google Calendar.
• Claude Wire the apps together and prove the VPN holds: the downloader's public address must be the VPN's, and with the VPN stopped it must reach nothing. Claude also sets three guards in Radarr and Sonarr: no downloads or imports once the pool is down to about 2 TB free, Radarr looks 14 days before a home release (the Doomsday example), and both post to your Discord when something lands or needs you. A test line from each shows up in Discord right then. Then Radarr's Library Import adopts the movies copied from E:, so it knows what you already own. Shows copied over later get the same from Sonarr. A few clicks; Claude walks you through it. Game of Thrones Season 7 is 720p in both copies. After the import only Season 7 stays on Sonarr's watch list, so Sonarr swaps just those episodes for 1080p and leaves the other seasons alone.
• You Choose your sources in Prowlarr. Which sites it searches is your call; this page names none. Also add the built in Internet Archive, for a legal first test. Then tell Claude. It ticks both Fail Downloads boxes (Executables, Potentially Dangerous) on every source in Radarr and Sonarr, and a timer ticks them again on any source that lacks them, every 15 minutes. Why: fake releases that hold a program instead of a video came in four waves in 2026, the latest Oct 8 to 10. The boxes start off, and Prowlarr never ticks them on the sources it adds. To see them yourself: open a source in Radarr and click the gear at the bottom of its window (it says "Hidden, click to show").
• You The real test. Add Night of the Living Dead (1968), which is public domain, to your Plex Watchlist on your phone. It should show in Seerr within 3 minutes, then download, then appear in Plex and Jellyfin. Why this one: it is free to share, so the first run proves the whole chain with nothing to worry about.
• Claude Turn on the repeat search. After the Library Imports, Claude test runs it on your library with nothing sent, then switches it on. From then on it runs every 4 hours (the Doomsday example says why). Three movie folders hold no movie (About Schmidt, The Dark Knight Rises, Safe House). Your call on Oct 10: they stay skipped. Ask for any of them in Seerr if you want it.
• Claude Asks first Take back Claude's sudo. Your call on Oct 10: remove it, lend it back when needed. Claude installs a lend command first, then removes its own rule. Later, when Claude needs it, type ssh -t nas sudo claude-sudo on on the tower, with your NAS password. Claude gets it for 4 hours, then it ends by itself, even across a reboot. ssh -t nas sudo claude-sudo off ends it early. Like a key that stops working at a set time.. the lend is a sudo rule with its own end time written inside it. Tested Oct 11 on a throwaway Debian 13: 57 checks and two reboots pass.

ReferenceEverything else

Inventory: what you have, what you need

Everything the build touches, in one list. Tick a row once it is in the house or done; this page remembers per device. Spent so far: $2,196.02 on parts, plus $71.76 and tax for two years of VPN. Space: the two 20TB drives hold the same files (a mirror), so you get about 18 TiB, and your movies use 6.2 TiB of it.

If neededNothing left to buy

• Maybe Kapton tape, only if a shucked drive does not show up about Oct 18. Some drives read a power pin as "stay off", and a strip over it fixes that (the fix). Any small roll of polyimide tape works; it takes about an inch. If it comes to that, Claude finds a link that day.

CheckBefore Oct 16

• Check Two more outlets near the NAS, Oct 16 to 18. Each 20TB drive runs on its own power brick during the 1.5 day test, before it is shucked. A power strip is fine; they do not need the UPS.
• You Read the UPS model off its label (back or bottom) and tell Claude. With it, the NAS can shut itself down cleanly when an outage outlasts the battery, instead of losing power mid write.

OrderedOn the way

• TEAMGROUP G50 1TB NVMe, $169.99. Arrives Sun, Oct 11. Holds Debian and the apps' scratch space. The only G50 size on UGREEN's approved list.
• Samsung 8GB DDR5-5600 SODIMM, $135.75. Arrives Thu, Oct 15. Makes 16GB. Read the label before it goes in.
• UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Pro and 2x WD Elements 20TB, $1,890.28 for the order. Arrives Fri, Oct 16. Intel Core i3-1315U with Quick Sync, four bays. The NAS comes with its power brick, two network cables, a screwdriver and tool free drive trays. Each WD Elements comes with its own power brick and USB cable. The drives get tested, then shucked into the mirror.

HaveAlready yours

AccountsLock them down

• You Proton: turn on two step login and save the recovery phrase in Bitwarden. How.
• You Plex: reset the password and turn on two step login. Plex was breached in Sep 2025. You sign in on build night to claim the server; Plex Pass can wait.

Week oneWhen Claude asks

• You A free healthchecks.io account, about 3 minutes. The NAS will check in with it every few minutes; if the NAS goes silent, it tells you by email or Discord. Why: a NAS that lost power or froze cannot post its own alarm.
• You Your call A Backblaze B2 account, about 5 minutes, card on file, pay as you go. The NAS sends it a nightly encrypted copy of the apps' settings and your music and audiobooks, about 65 GB. B2 charges $6.95 per TB a month (its own page, read Oct 11, 2026), so that is about $5 a year (estimate). Not the movies: Radarr and Sonarr can fetch those again. Why: a fire or a theft takes the NAS and E: together. This copy lives somewhere else.
• You A spare USB drive, 256 GB or more. Any one you have. It holds a second copy of the same backup next to the NAS, quick to restore from.

ReferenceHow the shopping went

NAS day extras

For the day the NAS is on the network and Plex works. Ranked: your data first, then the safety rule, then moving the tower's jobs, then new features, then two leads. Tick a row when it is done. The steps stay closed until you want them. From the GitHub sweep, rechecked Sep 28, 2026, 10:22 PM Denver. What was and was not checked is in the Honesty log.

• Make the NAS your backup target. Use Kopia, free backup software that encrypts everything before it leaves the tower. Why: nothing on the tower has a second copy. D: logs disk retries and E: shows a health warning.
  Careful steps

  1. Tower first, if it is not done yet. Download the v0.23.1 Windows zip from the official release. Before you run it, check the gpg signature on checksums.txt, the SHA256 and the Windows code signature. Make one repository on F:. Skip KopiaUI, the desktop app.
  2. Give Kopia its own spot on the NAS. One shared folder just for backups, and a NAS user that only Kopia uses.
  3. Copy the F: repository to the NAS with Kopia's sync command, repository sync-to filesystem. The copy stays encrypted, so the NAS only ever holds scrambled pieces.
  4. Back up the F: folders to the NAS too. Homes and Family on F: have no second copy. Until NAS day the plan snapshots them to C:. On NAS day, point that snapshot at the NAS.
  5. Run it from the dispatcher like every other job. No new Task Scheduler task.
  6. Keep the backup password off the tower too, on paper somewhere safe. If it only lives on the tower and the tower dies, the backup is locked for good.
  7. Test one restore of a single folder from the NAS copy before you trust it.
  8. Follow the NAS app rules. For Kopia, every upgrade also gets the signature check from step 1.
• Run every robot in the same locked box. A container template borrowed from OpenMuse. Skip the app itself: it will not start without CopilotKit's cloud key. Why: if a robot goes wrong, it is stuck in the box and can reach nothing outside it, with one listed exception.
  Careful steps

  1. Start from this template. It is a standard Compose file. Swap ROBOT for your robot's image and DIGEST for its sha256.

     services:
       robot:
         image: ROBOT@sha256:DIGEST
         user: "65534:65534"
         read_only: true
         cap_drop: [ALL]
         security_opt:
           - no-new-privileges:true
         network_mode: none
         mem_limit: 512m
         memswap_limit: 512m
         cpus: 1
         pids_limit: 128
         tmpfs:
           - /tmp:rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,size=64m

  2. What each line buys you. It runs as nobody, it cannot change its own files, and it holds none of root's capabilities. It has no network, 512 MB with no swap, 1 CPU and 128 processes. Its /tmp holds 64 MB, and nothing written there can run.
  3. No mounts and no secrets. Hand the job in, read the answer out.
  4. Stop every run at 30 seconds and keep only the first 128 KB of its output.
  5. Pin each image by its digest, not a tag. The NAS app rules cover the rest.
  6. One allowed exception. A robot that must check OSV, the open database of known software holes, gets a network to that one site only, through a proxy that allows nothing else. That proxy is not in this template. OpenMuse itself gives its box no network at all.
  7. What does not go in the box. The browser scrapers, which need the web and more memory. Frigate, which has its own row below, and the media apps on the Build tab.
• Move the tower's scheduled jobs to the NAS. The NAS stays on and the tower does not. 14 of the tower's 19 jobs can move. The four backup jobs stay and point at the NAS instead, and the agent box stays too. You and Claude move them one at a time, after Plex works. Why: while the tower is off, its jobs wait, and nothing watches the store.
  The plan

  1. One timer on the NAS runs a Linux copy of the job runner every 15 minutes, with only the keys those jobs need.
  2. For each job: copy it, fix its paths, try it once, compare with the tower's run, then switch it off on the tower.
  3. Never on both machines at once for anything that posts to Discord or touches the store.

  The full list: C:\Users\Exterminator\Documents\Claude\Projects\HomeServer\TOWER_JOBS_TO_NAS.md

• Add person and car alerts to the cameras. Use Frigate, a self hosted camera recorder that runs on the NAS. Why: the four cameras only sense motion. Frigate tells a person or car from blowing leaves, with no cloud.
  Careful steps

  1. Wait for the NAS. Its object detection runs on the i3-1315U's built in graphics through Frigate's OpenVINO detector.
  2. If you must trial it on the tower, open Docker Desktop, go to Settings > Resources > WSL Integration, and untick the default distro and agentbox. Then confirm docker is not found inside agentbox. Docker's own page says the integration is on for the default distro out of the box.
  3. Start with one camera. Add the others one at a time, once its alerts look right.
  4. Give Frigate its own camera login. A User level account on the NVR with no admin rights. Test it on that one camera first.
  5. Follow the NAS app rules. Frigate's versions are on its releases page.
  6. Pass in only the video chip. Try it without privileged mode first.
  7. Cap the recordings at a few days to start, so they cannot fill the pool.
• Recheck Beszel before you try it. LEAD, NOT VERIFIED Beszel is a health dashboard to run on the NAS. Why: nothing about it could be verified, and three of the first plan's four choices broke your rules.
  Careful steps

  1. Check its facts first, the day the NAS arrives.
  2. If it passes: the NAS app rules, on the NAS only, one user, and no link to Paperclip (the agent company on your tower) or any other agent.
• Compare NetAlertX with your own LAN scanner. LEAD, NOT VERIFIED NetAlertX spots the devices on the home network. Why: it came from one read with no checks. Add it only if it beats the scanner you built.
  Careful steps

  1. Read its repo and check its facts first.
  2. If it wins: the same rules as Beszel.
