I’m looking at getting a gateway device to replace the ISP router that sits between the internet connection and the mesh WiFi.
I am running pi-hole on a (very old) raspberry pi, but I know some gateways get quite fancy so I’m wondering if it’s possible to have pi-hole on the gateway itself, to run as DNS and DHCP servers?
Other things I’m looking for in a gateway are VPN as a client (preferably Wireguard) and PoE ports for cameras.
If it’s possible to host something like pi-hole directly on the gateway then hardware recommendations are appreciated!
As someone who is also a fan of having less things to plug in I must say, one pitfall of having an all-in-one device is that if it fails then EVERYTHING fails and you’re left having to replace a (probably expensive, possibly hard to get) all-in-one device.
