Comment on what are the realistic requirements for opnsense?

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?

    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.

    What’s a server card?
    
    I’d prefer to avoid VMs if possible I never had much luck with them.
