[VicPiMakers General] Are Pi's good for multiple things at same time?

[Mark G.]

Hi Alex,

I haven't seen any other responses to your questions, so I
will give it a shot.

You can easily run a pihole, as you probably know.  I think
you could run a password manager alongside it, because I can't
imagine a password manager being very resource heavy, so
2 out of 3 so far.

As for a VPN end point, that requires having your Pi
open ports to the Internet, something you probably
don't want to do with a system running a password manager.

What password manager were you planning on using?

Hope this helps.
Mark
