Comment on Turn linux server into a router?

You can but I would strongly recommend that you set up a dedicated box. It doesn’t matter that much what OS it is running but it shouldn’t be the same device running other services.

As someone who has done their router as both a VM and a stand alone physical box, just do a stand alone box. It doesnt take much to run pfsense

To add to this, Suricata is available as a service in Pfsense, it isn’t hard to get going with an IDS and with some tweaking an IPS. +1 to pfsense!
