Being actually able to saturate 25/25G is anything but an easy task, unless you have the money to buy enterprise degree hardware. So I ended up building my own router. The CPU, the network card and the 25G SFP+ were the expensive parts. But I managed to stay around $1200 with second hand hardware. Before that with 1G or 10G I used the Ubiquity Dream Machine Pro.
Yeah, I guess 25G is the fastest way to qualify for r/homedatacenter, lol
edit: nvm. I just saw that they are trying to get 200 or 400G switches. Still, I suspect that most of them don't have 25G WAN
If you‘re curious, someone else documented the PC build and I used this as a guide for mine:

That's neat! Thanks for the link.
