I have never done this. The PIs do OK with network traffic. They are
terrible with most disk IO.
I have run a filtering DNS server on a PI 3 that served 5000 people, and
it worked fine. So I suspect that it would work well enough as a router
for a small connection. Something like:

I have not used this, but it does seem that people have done it...
Definitely not as simple as speedify.
