Hi,

I have used several VMs as gateways the last one was ClearOS.

Just a word of warning using a VM as a gateway; especially if it runs services like NTP, DNS, and/or DHCP... if you turn off your host-server or reboot to patch, you will essentially loose your entire network!

Currently I use a RPI3b as a gateway/dns/dhcp/ntp (using dnsmasq).  Yes with IP tables... You can find a number of IPTable generators; I start there and butcher the output to suit.

eg: http://mista.nu/iptables/


The RPI boots quicker ...
