I have wondered about this recently too. I was going to use a combination of
ufw and snort for intrusion detection as a firewall. I have an old laptop I
can use, but an rpi should be good enough. I was thinking about using a USB
etnhernet adapter to provide one of the interfaces for clarity of delineation.

Just spitballing at this point. Haven't done anything of substance yet...
