    Yes it was and Thanks again for your help It works flawlessly.
    I have moved the VPN Host server to the Radio's NUC PC and that has been really nice to because I leave it on all the time anyway.
    Thanks for your work on the PiVPN

    By the way folks. If you need some additional I/O on the NUC, there are replacement lids available with various interfaces. I was thinking I might be a little short on USB ports so I found a lid that added two more.

    This is a nice NUC expansion, but the one that interests me most is the Thunderbolt 3  port provided on the latest i5 and i7 NUCs.  This is a 40 Gb/s port (no typo!) that will support multiple 4K monitors, ethernet, audio, USB3, and what have you.  You can use an inexpensive single adapter cable, or go for a multi-function dock. Search for "Thunderbolt 3 docking". Intel propaganda.

    I have been playing around with the Thunderbolt 3 USB-C port and a I have some issues with a few devices NOT working as windows can't find the supposedly built in drivers. 
    The multi-port device I have tried is the PAXCESS USB-C 2 x USB3's, HDMI Port, RJ45 Network, and a USB-C Port.
    It won't work on MY NUC7I7 and on my MAC Book Pro running WIN10 under bootcamp it does work most of the time after several retries on 3 of it's USB-C ports but on the 4th USB-C port it acts just like it does on the NUC, just keeps trying over and over to load the drivers. 
    There are NO downloadable drivers that I can find on the PAXCESS web site. 

    SO just a heads up with the PAXCESS device it probably won't work on your NUC7I7.

    I've noticed that some tb3 devices claim Windows compatibility and some do not (probably for Macs). Agreed, you need to be careful.

    For future reference the LG 29UM67-P runs fine on 13VDC.

    I'm running a NUC I7 and it's driving a Dell 34" monitor.  I've been running this new setup since December and really enjoy it.  I really like having the 34" monitor.  There's plenty of room and I no longer need to monitors, for now anyways, hi hi.

    Didn't realize they made lids like this, cool.

    I plan on getting a 2nd NUC for operating position #2.
