My thoughts about this are: 1) Automatic configuration is good! Almost any potential FreedomBox user is likely to have a DHCP server running on the network (on the router), lets use this. 2) Have two network interfaces, one for the local network and one for the FreedomBox tasks. Put the FreedomBox interface in the DMZ of the router (the router can do this based on the MAC of the FreedomBox interface). The FreedomBox interface runs inside a Program Space designed to forward traffic to other Program Spaces (NEVER to programs running in User Space!). This is basically what I have been doing over the last 3 years using LXC technology. 3) Leave existing networks alone, do not change them. For my current FreedomBox setup the network must be changed to a bridged network. I do not like this at all! Why? Because I know there is a better way, I just do not know how its been done. I do a lot of testing inside VirtualBox VM's. With VirtualBox you can have a bridged network without changing the network of the host. How do they do it? Anyone having ideas about this? Happy new year everyone!
