Sure, that makes sense. Honestly, IMO you should use whatever stack works well and is convenient for you to keep updated. If it's stupid but it works, it isn't stupid.
It's actually an old windows VM and definitely not convenient, more it's just that I know I've tested the fuck out of it and it's rock-solid in terms of not leaking ips or whatnot. I've been wanting to migrate it to be pure linux for some time but part of the complexity is porting my old firewall rules.. linux firewalls don't see process paths for the most part so I pretty much need to handle things in a much different way. I could probably throw together a Linux VM with iptables-based rules without too much trouble but I guess I just figured skipping past VMs entirely and going directly to containers was better but that ended up being more time- and research-intensive than I had originally expected (apparently i suck at containers lol)
