Just to be clear VPNs are not a security tool, they are for privacy. Sure there are VPN providers that bolt on security features and yes privacy is achieved through encrypting a tunnel but this doesn't enhance security. 99% of web traffic is already encrypted with HTTPS and double encrypting...

To be technically correct network cards are expressed in Gb not GB (there is a big difference) Gb is giga bit and GB is giga byte(8 bits) Yes it should work fine. The PCI-e bus can handle speeds well beyond 10Gb.

I don't use QuickBooks, but supposedly their diagnostic tool can resolve a lot of performance issues. It would be faster and to make it use the other nic you would simply want to configure those nics in a different cidr block and map a drive with that IP. Then change where data loads to that...

If you're asking for Windows login (interactive) no, for an ssh server running on a Windows service absolutely.

The fact that your missing the sharing tab on the first two screens leads me to believe you have the Server service disabled. Win + R Type 'services'msc' Look for 'Server' Make sure it is started and start up type is automatic

Are you on the computer locally and have rights to view the directory ACLs? From the screenshot it looks like your remotely trying to view the sharing permissions, log onto the system locally and show us the permissions and share tab

Can you show us the sharing tab, are you doing basic sharing or advanced sharing?

Can we see the share permissions?

I doubt we have many Russian users and many might be uneasy hosting within Russia

I mean if you can dream it up someone can probably make it. Is there really a big interest, unlikely. Why not just an internet search or GenAI tool and ask I want free/open source solution for X?

Groupon is a fairly reputable site. VARs are usually going to sell full priced licenses only

If there not trying to customize it and just using for testing, not activating is an option. Lots of 3rd parties sell licenses for cheap as they recycle old systems and pull the old licenses when they are retail. Groupon for example sells licenses for in the ~$10 range. There's always a small...
