Homelab network routing means pfsense, opensense, vyos, ubiquity.

What does this product have to do with "routing" at all? How is it a router?

I think it's an interesting quirk that we don't use the same terms for what are essentially the same concepts.

Switching is $verbing at layer 2, IP routing is $verbing at layer 3, NAT is $verbing at layer 4, and reverse proxying is $verbing at layer 5.

I'd argue that 'route' is the right value for $verb here.

It is routing web requests to backend endpoints, I guess.
