You can buy multi-port Intel ethernet cards cheap on eBay. But a used one and drop it into your computer. If you stick to Intel you should have a better time with driver support under OPNsense, and it would enable you to have separate ports for VLANs if you wanted to get fancy.

Does “interface” mean you need separate cards? Or you have a single card with multiple interfaces?
Is DMZ like a guest network?
I looked up “IDS/IPS” and it wounds like something I would prefer to avoid doing if I can.

DMZ is usually where you put servers that should be externally accessible
it’s like a guest network in that it is a separate network segment with different filtering/forwarding rules than the main local network

that sounds useful.
i like to keep things separate when plausible.

I was hoping to make use of one of the various computers I have cluttering this place up so I could justify continuing the collection. ;)
Do you know how to determine suitability of an existing card, or how to correctly purchase a replacement?
