Gregory,
I support you on your decision, "Debian 12.7 with the Cinnamon
desktop". Cinnamon is very nice to use.
Do you use "Synaptic Package Manager"? I recommend this program. I
find it very useful for finding software packages.
Using Synaptic I found all the programs you were asking about.

You should avoid third-party repositories if possible, especially if
you are new to Debian. It's _very_ easy to end up with what is
colloquially known as a FrankenDebian.

This rule doesn't forward anything, it just enables masquerading.
IPv4 forwarding is enabled with sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=1.
