twofivefour I'm positive based on the hours researched already as mentioned, if u spend the same amount, probably even less, on setting this up, u will succeed.
U don't need much really, even a laptop or desktop pc would work. I would advice looking into pihole, its pretty beginner friendly.
On the plus side, if succeeded, u will find your answer, have learned a valuable thing (in my opinion), and perhaps share with us your findings.
I'm positive if u need help along the way when you are stuck setting this up, asking for help in this thread, people will be glad to help.
