If you are on a tight budget

Not for tight budgets

Sorry i didn’t read the whole statement

Nice to be of your help.

How’s OpenWRT to use and install. Though pretty experienced with linux. This is the first time trying to do the hardcore networking stuff.

I read on OPNSense guide it needs 2gb ram to run, it would be difficult to even get a 1gb ram for it. Not to say expensive too.

I have an old Raspberry Pi as PiHole and another Pihole running on as a virtual machine. I have an ryzen PC running as a NAS and Jellyfin.

I was trying to get a half decent PC to make a firewall router out of.

Thanks i was planning to put OpenWRT or DD WRT on it ditching Windows XP

People are still buying EA shit.
