Do you have a RaspbPI working as a NATting firewall? If so, what
software and what techniques did you use? On casual research, IPFire
looks good. I have a 10 year old computer burning electricity and
heating the house, and would like to replace it with a Raspberry Pi if
possible.

In my situation the LAN is Gigabit, and the Internet is 70Mbit down,
about 2.5Mbit up.

Thanks,
