It's Ubuntu. Protectli is the equipment, easily obtainable on Amazon. If I had to do over I would use PCEngines however since they use core boot. Edit: you will also need a wireless access point to plug into a lan port. Ubiquity unify is great and is much better coverage than the consumer grade router this replaced.
Up for months, incredible speed, no maintenance, except to add new domains to block when they prove to be spyware. Twitter may be next on the list since it is of declining use to me.
I'll add that I'm by no means a linux whiz, but learned a lot by doing this project.
Biggest issue is explaining to guests why they can't access facebook.
Another bene is you no longer have the planned obsolescence of consumer grade equipment. I fully expect this thing to last a decade, and "firmware" is automatically updated via linux.
