Looking thru my router traffic on devices connected to it. My wife’s devices have traffic to Facebook. She does not have a Facebook account or messenger or any other social media apps. She does not use a VPN or ad blocker. Assume it’s thru ads on browsers etc.
Anyway get Mulvad or similar to help with this. My devices have no traffic to sites I have not connected to that I can tell.
Now setting up firewall rules to block Facebook globally. Hopefully this will stop the theft
Fuck the Zuck

Just for fun, try installing a VPN on her phone, then look at the router traffic again.
Sounds like the kind of thing you could mitigate by setting up a pihole.
or adguard.
The stats and logs are not that useful, but it does it's job very well. I would also recommend this. Another option is NextDNS, but it runs in the cloud tho. A solution if you don't want to run and maintain another device. I use it while traveling.
My pihole died after a couple of years, I also used it for DHCP.
Without an IP allocation, and without trying to guess, I had to factory reset my ISP router, which I couldn't access without an IP to get it to serve DHCP and DNS again.
This happened the day before I was going on holiday for 2 weeks and had given my builder the previous WiFi code so he could message me progress on the house 😂
