If you’re not concerned with compatibility with Windows. Replace your filesystem with ext4.

Yeah, fat32 is the devil when it comes to working with large files. (It’s fine for /boot)

Since I’m not too familiar with your environment I’m just going to list some possibilities.

Check that you’re not using a fat16/fat32 filesystem anywhere. Host, Docker, download location. If this is the cause, exfat is supported by Windows and Linux if you need reverse compatibility.

Confirm you’re running the 64bit version.

Can you determine if the problem starts happening around the 4GB size.

Perhaps there’s not enough free space for it to download and copy the file from the temporary location to the destination at the same time.

Perhaps the file name including the path has become too long.

If I was in your IT department I’d be required to shut this down and probably revoke your access until our bosses decide on your future.

Keep in mind, your employer has a responsibility to protect their data and this would subject your homelab to any legal liabilities such as a lawsuit search order and data privacy auditing.

Any solution you work out needs to be signed off on in writing if it’s outside their expected usage.

Another important point o365 requires oauth2 authentication unless your IT department has intentionally allowed other forms of authentication or they are in a hybrid legacy environment.

When they broke EWS and office 2010 compatibility they crippled many foss solutions without an additional license and the tools that do work will report details to exchange about your homelab. So if your department is diligent it’ll come to their attention.

My clients when they text me the server is down.

I’d suggest configuring it for AV1 and use a RDNA 3 GPU.

Assuming you have a genuine installer that exception is commonly caused by corrupted or missing system files. (But not the only reason, ram issues, HDD issues and malware are some of the other potential reasons)

Research and understand these commands before using them. They attempt to resolve system file problems. Be sure to reboot after running both of them.

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

SFC /scannow

Additionally, you can check if you have the latest redistributable installed.

Install both x86 and x64.

Don’t update the firmware or give it access to the internet.

Assuming it’s old enough, if you put electrical tape over the chip contacts it might work.

Try using a generic PCL3 or 5 driver.

These are some weird workarounds I’ve seen in the wild.

Edit: there’s no way to be certain unless you find another person with your exact situation and firmware that’s done something. Or a thumbs up from the manufacturer.

Yeah give that a go. Glad to help 🙂

Ok in that case. The goal is to use a cipher suite that works well on your device that is still secure. AES is accelerated on most processors these days. But you’ll want to confirm that by looking up your specific cpu (both host and client machines!) and checking for AES acceleration.

AES-128-GCM would be my suggestion.

UDP mode provides less overhead, so it should be faster for you.

Alternatively you could use IPsec instead of openvpn but that’s a chore to configure. But it has the benefit of being free and being natively supported by many devices.

You would still want to configure an appropriate cipher suite that’s fast and secure.

You mentioned that your cpu is getting maxed out on wireguard. That makes a lot of sense since it’s generally not hardware accelerated, old low end CPUs could struggle here.

What choices do you have for protocols with your VPN software?

Try AES128 UDP mode with openVPN.

Yeah I just won’t buy that brand and if it turns into all of them. That’s when I dust off my jailbreaking hat and never buy new again.

Ethernet is so versatile. I’ve seen a lot of places where they use it for phone and intercom wiring.
