Yep. You can use that software on just about anything with a couple nics. It serves the same purpose as an off-the-shelf router (nearly all of which run some tivo-ized, nsa-backdoored linux firmware blob) but you'll have total control over the device.

Can I set one up in the Philippines?

A router running OPNsense? Sure. You can put a firewall inside any kind of network. I don't know what kind of hardware you have access to, but If you have something specific in mind, I can probably tell you if its fit for purpose

Can it block specific websites? I don't want Tiktok and YT shorts.

Yeah. The main thing to keep in mind if you go this route and build your own is you’ll want atleast 2 Ethernet ports. 1 for your hand off with your ISP and 1 for a hand off to your access point or Ethernet switch.

You can block ips with firewall rules and domains using unbound dns
