Sorry I was probably not very clear on one part, I’m looking to run a router additionally to my already existing debian installation. OPNsense seems very nice, but that would require me switching to FreeBSD, which I’m not very keen on right now.
You can create a virtual machine, running within your debian install, to server as your router. It actually works very well.
I forgot VM’s completely, that’s very true.
What do you mean by router?
A router is a layer 3 device that routes packets. What functionality are you wanting?
