I managed to build my own DIY home router from a Nanopi R2S + dumb network switch + wifi AP. No fancy router OS, just:

* bare archlinux arm

* pihole (dnsmasq) + unbound for DNS and DHCP

* systemd-netoworkd for routing

* iptables for firewall

* wireguard for vpn

Thatā€™s awesome! Pretty challenging?

That reminds me of building one in the 1990s using an old 486, a floppy drive, 2 NICs and running Linux IP Chains.

Those skills are long gone from my brain cells.
