Found an old WiFi dongle buried in my stuff and decided to revive a 2009 Atom netbook I’d been using as a test mule 😆

Now it runs Debian Bookworm CLI as a lightweight network gateway (Node): Ethernet uplink, WiFi AP, plus Proton VPN (free tier) for routing traffic.

Surprisingly stable and fun to push old hardware into a new life.
