Use alternative ways of streaming content such as Kodi or Stremio with a debrid service that costs $17/6mo

Be prepared for your router to not work until you figure out how to set stuff up. So hopefully this isn’t your only router. I converted a router to OpenWRT and my knowledge of networking was super basic. It was very confusing but I did get it working in a few days. However, I couldn’t get some things working like a VPN or updating without wiping all my settings. OpenWRT is router firmware, not NAS software. You’ll need to run something like CasaOS, OpenMediaVault, TrueNAS, etc for that.

This website is a great starting point for router configurations: https://routersecurity.org/#StartHere

I like getting audio books from Libro.FM. It’s all DRM free and some money gets donated to a bookstore of your choosing.

What would you be referring to?

They make plenty of anti-consumer decisions

Not like the FTC did much to begin with

Oh yeah I did hear that name recently

Two weeks ago it was Jeep. Now it’s Dodge. This is how it creeps. Are both those companies owned by Crystler?

I didn’t mean it to come across as insulting or anything. I meant it all genuinely to be helpful

Or I was busy and gave a quick and still helpful response

Are you aware of Firefox’s changes to their privacy policy that has been in the news the past 2 weeks? If not you can easily find articles and youtuve videos on it.

I love more surveillance

Karma

Libro.FM is fantastic

Thank you. That’s incredibly insightful. When I get the cash I’ll setup a PiHole

Fair

That’s a good point

Why would someone pick PiHole over say a customized NextDNS on your router?

This is really neat. I’ll be trying it out for sure

Agreed
