The Senate just passed a bill that will let the federal and state governments investigate and sue websites that they claim cause kids mental distress. It’s a terrible idea to let politicians and bureaucrats decide what people should read and view online, but the Senate passed KOSA on a 91-3 vote....
If you’re savy then install open wrt on it. If you want expert mode, then install pfsense on an old PC/laptop. If you want pucker factor, then install pfsense in a VM where the host machine gets it’s ip from the VM.
Why are you like this, and who hurt you??
What’s a good router one can use for openWRT? I just so happen to need a new one. No expert mode for me.
I would just look at routers with the features you want and check to see if it’s compatible.

Thanks! Just to be sure, the router company becomes inconsequential when I install openwrt, or am I mistaken?
As in say I buy a linksys router and install openwrt, linksys can no longer spy on my traffic, so I shouldn’t worry about that, right?
Yeah. There’s a possibility that there is a backdoor built into the soc, but that would be nation state level stuff that would be extremely difficult to uncover.
Ok cool thanks, I’ll probably go with something on this list then. My other things I was looking at were the Turris Omnia and the Peplink B-one, but tbh a lynksys with openwrt will likely serve me fine.
