The entire goal of Server Meshing is fixing the "existing 100 player ones barely function" issue. Server Meshing breaks a single logical "server" into multiple backend servers that are all meshed together to provide a consistent and transparent experience. A 400 player server could actually end up being 10 backend servers, with 40 players each. Thus, it'll run much better.

I'm not saying they were purposefully cheating in this or any tournament, and I agree cheating under that context would be totally obvious. But, it is feasible that a pro worried about their stats might be willing to cheat in situations where the stakes are lower outside of tournaments.
What I also don't understand is, if this hacker has lobby wide access, why was it only these two people who got compromised? Why wouldn't the hacker just do the entire lobby? Clearly this hacker loves the clout. Forcing cheats on the entire lobby would certainly be more impressive.
PS. This is all blatant speculation. From all sides. No one, other than the hacker and hopefully Apex really knows what happened. I am mostly frustrated by ACPD's immediate fear mongering of a RCE in EAC or Apex based on no concrete evidence.
This isn't a statement from Apex or EAC. The original source for the RCE claim is the "Anti-Cheat Police Department" which appears to just be a twitter community. There is absolutely no way Apex would turn over network traffic logs to a twitter community, who knows what kind of sensitive information could be in that. At best, ACPD is taking the players at their word that the cheats magically showed up on their computers.
PS. Apparently there have been multiple RCE vulnerabilities in the Source Engine over the years. So, I’m keeping my mind open.
I do not buy this RCE in Apex/EAC rumor. This wouldn't be the first time "pro" gamers got caught with cheats. And, I wouldn't put it past the cheat developers to not only include trojan-like remote-control into their cheats, but use it to advertise their product during a streamed tournament. All press is good press. And honestly, they'd probably want people thinking it was a vulnerability in Apex/EAC rather than a trojan included with their cheat.
I think I misunderstood what exactly you wanted. I don't think you're getting remote GPU passthrough to virtual machines over ROCE without an absolute fuckton of custom work. The only people who can probably do this are Google or Microsoft. And they probably just use proprietary Nvidia implementations.
I believe what you're looking for is ROCE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RDMA_over_Converged_Ethernet
But, I don't know if there's any FOSS/libre/etc hardware for it.
I've heard good things about used/refurb HP (elite desk and pro desk) and Lenovo (m700 and m900) mini-pcs. A quick search shows they're going for ~120-140$ for a quad core with 16 gigs of memory.
Check out minisforum, for example this intel mini-pc. They have a ton of selection, not just that one example.
From the article, "These systems range from ground-based lasers that can blind optical sensors on satellites to devices that can jam signals or conduct cyberattacks to hack into adversary satellite systems."
Just serve the CloudFlare certs. If the URL is the same, it won't matter. Doesn't matter if you're talking to a local private address like 192.166.1.100 or a public IP. If you're accessing it via a DNS name, that is what is validated, not the underlying IP.
PS. If you tried this and are having issues. We need more details about how things are set up, and how you are accessing them.
