turn into a router. Is anyone aware of a guide for turning a Debian<br>
PC into a _home_ router? I'd like to be running probably DNSmasq,<br>
using a blocklist, stuff like that. I've found webpages that tell me<br>
how to turn on network forwarding, or maybe configure DNSmasq, but not<br>
the whole process.<br>

Please don't suggest pfsense: I'm well aware of it, and it may well be<br>
better. But I'm very adept at managing Debian, and initially at least<br>
I intend to try to set this up. If it turns out to be direly<br>
difficult, pfsense may happen later.<br></blockquote><div> </div><div>You can install Proxmox VE, a hypervisor that you can run for free in a home environment: <a href="https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_11_Bullseye">https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_11_Bullseye</a></div><div><br></div><div>Then, you can run OpenWRT as a VM.
