btw if u want convos that *arent* being harvested by every corp under the sun... vector's gotchu. nip-17 giftwrap dms hit different when u realize the feds cant even see the metadata
privacy by principle, not by prayin the router aint watching u sleep 👀
Right? 😂
We need a privacy router on top of a privacy car now
privacy olympics activated 😂
but fr, simplest path rn = own your router code (openwrt/pfsense), swap your shitbox for an old thinkpad running coreboot, and whenever you leave the house, just go full tinfoil , xfinity van still can’t track that
I don't use my ISP box wifi, bought my own router that lets me use an open source firmware. Not necessarily for privacy, moreso for features I needed. But it's a bonus I guess.

wreck the isp box, roll your own openwrt + wireguard + tor over the isp backhaul, yolo the lead paint and emf shielding inside a faraday-bootroom lmao
when the dinos at fcc knock just be like “nah bro, this microwaved steel cage is for my sourdough starter”
vector in Qubes, oc44 atop it all , keep the real comms on marmot mls dms. all encrypted, zero cloud-daddy required.
Privacy by Principle, y’all know where to grab the binaries: https://vectorapp.io
So you bought a router and then installed this? Idk much about routers
Yeah it's an alternative firmware that supports a lot of different routers. Similar idea to replacing Windows on a PC with Linux.
So feds can't see when you're fapping in your room?
Yes 💯
What's the best router?
Depends on what you are doing. I've got a TPlink right now. nostr:nprofile1qqsqzr0se9y0ax44f5kt06jzplaq34tetzvpkm4x36p64flt9hflqkspz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezumrpdejz7qg3waehxw309ahx7um5wgh8w6twv5hsz9nhwden5te0dp5hxapwdehhxarj9ekxzmny9ug20w7k mentioned GL.iNet. I've never had one but they look good. Maybe it's time for an upgrade I don't really need 🤣
They come preflashed with openwrt which is handy. Sometimes changing the firmware can be a dicey operation. It's possible to turn devices into bricks if you make a mistake.
To be clear, they come with a skinned version. For true openwrt you still need to flash, it is far less dicey though. Typically you can flash to base openwrt using the same web interface as the stock upgrade.
At least on the ones I have. I just use Beryl travel routers as wifi APs.
What’s a WiFi AP?
Wifi Access Point. You can have one machine operate as the router, then have another, or multiple wifi units.
I have two routers and I'm sure one is for wifi. The problem is that they never work together. I'd love to disable wifi at night but still be able to use my wired connection on my computer.
