Reviewing your original request (sorry, I lost it due to spam filtering
in Thunderbird) ... I think this guide might get you in the direction
you want:
https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/04/the-ars-guide-to-building-a-linux-router-from-scratch/
The guide is quite old (last updated ~2018) but still should give you
the ideas needed to get your Debian install in the right direction.
I still think VyOS is a good method, since you can access Debian any
time you want, but this is more along what you asked.

As per my previous post, I just purchased a mini-PC which I intend to
turn into a router. Is anyone aware of a guide for turning a Debian
PC into a _home_ router? I'd like to be running probably DNSmasq,
using a blocklist, stuff like that. I've found webpages that tell me
how to turn on network forwarding, or maybe configure DNSmasq, but not
the whole process.
Please don't suggest pfsense: I'm well aware of it, and it may well be
better. But I'm very adept at managing Debian, and initially at least
I intend to try to set this up. If it turns out to be direly
difficult, pfsense may happen later.
Thanks.
