## What it is
RaspAP is a full-featured wireless router and access point management application for Debian-based devices such as the Raspberry Pi, providing a responsive web GUI over hostapd, dnsmasq, and networking services. It bundles VPN client management (OpenVPN, WireGuard, Tailscale), DNS-based ad blocking, captive portal support, a RESTful API, and a quick installer or Docker deployment.

## Use cases
- turn a raspberry pi into a wifi access point
- set up a wireless router on a debian sbc
- manage a wifi hotspot with a web interface
- route ap clients through a wireguard or openvpn vpn
- block ads and trackers for devices on my network
- create a bridged access point on my existing network
- set up a captive portal for guest wifi
- manage dhcp and dns settings for a hotspot

## When to choose
- you want a ready-made, web-managed wireless AP on a Raspberry Pi or other Debian-based SBC
- you need integrated VPN client routing, ad blocking, or captive portal features out of the box
- you prefer a quick installer, pre-built image, or Docker deployment with sensible defaults

## When to avoid
- you need enterprise-grade routing, VLANs, or high-throughput firewalling beyond a simple AP
- your platform is not Debian-based or lacks compatible wireless hardware
- you want a headless solution with no web UI and prefer raw hostapd/dnsmasq configs
