Yes, one can do the remote hosting, but to me, I enjoy the hands-on work.

I'm hoping to do that with IPFire soon. It comes pre-configured with different
colored "zones" (networks) for the home, such as red for anything public-facing
like a web server or a BBS, a green zone which is your LAN, and a blue zone for
WiFi (allowing you to offer public WiFi if you want). The distro also will do
full country blocks by using GeoIP and auto-updating IP tables.
I've just not had the time nor energy to do it, unfortunately, but I'm hoping I
will be able to get to this soon.
Later,
Sean
