>I'm curious why you need multiple subnets at home; I at one point had separate subnets because I was using a wifi client as a ip level router, but was wondering what your use-case is. Not OP, but there are many use cases. First is device isolation so untrusted devices can be put in their own network while you can selectively add ressources from your main network via VLANs and add simple firewall rules because the untrusted network is a different interface on your VM than the others. Second, you might want to put any managment interfaces (and ssh-enabled IPs) on a seperate network both for ease of organization and security. Third, if you want to have your network services configured differently for different clients (think VPN vs local clients, adblocking DNS for mobile only) it's a lot easier to do that for whole subnets.
