Dora: A open-source Rust DHCP Server

I didn't look at the source code. I like dnsmasq for its flexibility. I understand it. It's great. But the learning curve is very steep. Which might be because of the options I wanted in a certain way.

I'll look at this and see if it's more consistent.

Also, if anyone knows a good device to use at home with router and switch (>4 ports) and ap that runs open source firmware... let me know. I don't like SRM on the Synology, and UniFi has gone the Apple way.

Hard to go wrong with opnSense, it's open and very powerful and configurable. I run multiple VLANs, wireguard and OpenVPN, DHCP with some static IP mappings, dynamic DNS for my on-prem services, LACP for link aggregation to my core switch, multiple ISP connections with policy based routing (it's not as good as SD-WAN here but it's the best I've found that's open). Worth checking out, at the least.

I use pfSense on a small firewall appliance that has 6 intel ethernet ports and then a AP from TP-Link that is only an AP (no dual function).

Several people have recommended GL iNet routers (OpenWRT) but I haven't tried their gear myself yet.

I looked into it some time again and the shipping to Canada was at a significant premium, like half the cost of the device itself, and the models which were available on Amazon was a small sliver of their product range :(
