I need to rebuild one of my spare routers, and I'm debating what to run on it. Choices are...
Debian
Ubuntu Server (50-50 about this)
OpenWRT (yep there's a PC build of that - https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/installation/openwrt_x86)
PFSense or Opnsense
The first two are nosing ahead, because for this mess I need multiple VLANs, a DHCP server for each VLAN, optional cross-VLAN routing, IPv4 and v6 firewalling and NAT.
I'm kinda leaning towards Ubuntu/Debian because it's what I know...
