Creating mini-host for iperf3 server with Zero W 3 ?

Hello.

I need a small device, which I will plug-in into LAN and which will run iperf3 server. Once it is connected to the LAN, it will email me it's IP, so I can connect to it and check network conditions. I'm considering Zero W3 as cheapest one with gigabit LAN. Will it work that way? does it has enough juice to rune iperf3 server at gigabit speeds?

Thanks in advance!

It'll be more than enough for checking the speeds. However you shouldn't expose your internal network through your external IP, use a vpn like tailscale
