Hi, I got a new router from my ISP, but it doesn’t even have an option to change the address of the DNS server…

So I’m gonna switch (if necessary also the ISP).

I have never used a custom router, so I would appreciate a push in the right direction. What can you recommend? Synology? FritzBox? Asus? Bridge Mode on the ISP router + RasPi?

The following I am running on a separate device, but if possible it would be nice to have it directly on the router device:

  • PiHole
  • Wireguard
  • DDNS updater

Homelab is a hobby, and like other hobbies, people actually loves doing the “unnecessary and overkill” stuff.

I thought “unnecessary and overkill” is our actual name, and selfhosting is just a nickname

Think about it… with OpenWrt you can spend even more time tweaking around and doing things that may be more automation under OPNsense. :P But yes, fair point.
