Make a standalone system with either its own VLAN or an IP subnet that

Sure it's not hard, both my switch and router support multiple VLANs. But I frankly cannot be arsed to do it :)

So I let people request accounts, but don't grant them automatically, only after manual vetting.

It's a bit more work but I'm happy with.
