Open Source Ad Blocker for Mac, Windows, and Linux
That's when you connect to your VPN.
I have a network configuration with 2 dnsmasqs, 1 with pi-hole-style hosts block, and 1 without, and most of my devices get the ad-blocking DNS, 1 gets the "unfiltered" DNS, on dnsmasq you can tag MAC addresses and create different configurations (including which DNS they get) for each tag, e.g. https://github.com/imp/dnsmasq/blob/770bce967cfc9967273d0acf...

Working on Multiple Web Projects with Docker Compose and Traefik
This seems like an improvement over my current solution in that it can keep multiple projects open simultaneously and route to each of them, but does add more complexity to the setup.
I'm using Dnsmasq (https://thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/doc.html) to map anything at .lo to the currently running project, like so:
brew install dnsmasq

easiest way to setup internal DNS routing?
I would use a simple dns proxy like Blocky if you want adblocking or dnsmasq if you don't.

Frustrated with the hardware I own
The pervious setup was much the same except the lab was under the UDMP without another gateway. I used UnifiOS to create networks(vLANs) and trusted that segregation to work. It did not. As I progressed in my home lab, I went through a few hypervisors and settled on EXSi and vSphere. 100% overkill but that is what labbing is for right? again progressing through and adding things like windows AD and many Home Automation things like Home Assistant, Node Red and MQTT. through all of this I struggled with DHCP/DNS, mostly conflicts with misconfigured vLANs etc. This led me to research the DHCP/DNS running on the UDMP, it is Dnsmasq which is very capable of doing the things I learned I needed like conditional forwarding and statics routes(yes the GUI has this, will get to that). After reading posts like this about the possibility of modifying dnsmasq through scripts, I was concerned about the viability of this long term as my 2nd use case(family) would be effected by any complications. This led me to the above design, which I then implemented.

Can I use a custom dns entry to get to my local dev site?
If you can handle all these, then the easiest way to setup a local dev DNS is dnsmasq. You can install it via HomeBrew.

Is there any way to boot an operating system over PXE?
If you are still interested, I heartily suggest using dnsmasq to do the dhcp/tftp/PXE service. I’ve used it on airgapped networks to boot systems and install a base Linux OS or run diagnostic tools.

Is there a systemd-free way to emulate how networkd and resolvd treat multiple networks?
It turns out that this was a rather short-term problem for me, so I do not have any reason to try my hand at a solution at this time. However, dnsmasq provides a DBus interface, so it seems like it would be trivial to script up a resolved replacement and register/unregister nameservers in runit run/finish files. Unbound's control interface may be a viable option as well.

Is this possible with Wireguard/oVPN?
I think you need VPN director from Asuswrt Merlin https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng/wiki/VPN-Director

Asus Router Reviews
Not an answer, but I have the AC5300 and like it. And if you're not aware, there's open source firmware for a lot of the Asus routers here. I use it and once again seems fine. Disclaimer, I'm not a power user, so probably can't answer anything more specific about VPN setup on the router itself, but from my understanding it is possible.

ASUS Merlin and VPN Director - Route LAN traffic through WG site-to-site VPN and WAN traffic through OVPN client
However, I am struggling with how to route the site-to-site client's WAN traffic through its own OVPN client connection. If I set up a rule routing all client subnet traffic through the OVPN connection, then the Wireguard rule never gets processed, because all OVPN rules are processed before any Wireguard rules.

OpenVPN Modem/Router
Many (all?) of the ASUS routers supported by the Merlin firmware https://www.asuswrt-merlin.net/ have OpenVPN built-in. If you have an ISP-provide modem/router, you may be able to put it in transparent bridge mode.

Looking To Buy A New Router
However, it looks like only the older model is on sale. Go for the Asus and do research if you want Merlin or not.

If you are somewhat good with computers, get an Asus router with a broadcom chipset that can run Merlin WRT. They are rock solid and feature packed (you can even adjust the wireless power level, since you're having wifi issues). There's a list of supported routers here: https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng/wiki/Supported-Devices

New Wireless Router Suggestions
Asus may be terrible in other parts of the company, but they're good in the wifi router department because they cooperate with their users to produce a better product: https://www.asuswrt-merlin.net/
