Basically, I want to make one for some multiplayer games out there (along with Stoat communities, or something similar - what do y'all recommend? Bonus if it has voice chat).

What would I need, and how can I set this up safely without having my own network hacked beyond comprehension? I could do it off site from home too if that's better.

I have a Raspberry Pi 4gb, but also an old DDR3 16gb desktop with a PCI network card available if that's recommended.

Are you maybe looking for something like Revolt or Spacebar?

Revolt

They got a C&D over the name and switched it to Stoat, which OP said they've tried before.

I don't get why they picked Stoat; it's a terrible name, but it is what it is

Didn't know that. I agree it is a terrible name, but maybe that's why it is safe from any cease and desist orders...
