I am planning to eventually build my own home server, and when I do I will hook it up via ethernet. But I do want to switch away from the generic FIOS router and use my own for more control over my data and security. Any recommendations?

    I did this as well, but I’m wondering if it was the wrong call. It’s harder to work with firewalls (particularly if docker is involved), and I’ve struggled with stuff like SyncThing.

    Most likely more learning could solve it, but I wonder if I should switch to a dedicated router OS where more support resources are available.

      I’ve got almost all of my services running on a separate, bigger system and only have a couple ports open on this one. Iptables isn’t too hard once you understand the shorthand.
