About routers
Many times we emphasize the need to use operating systems and applications that respect our privacy, but we forget the most important thing, our home router.
The routers of the operators have announced backdoors, since the operator can access whenever he wants, no matter if you change the password, there are service users that can be used to reset it or anything else, and many times these service users are leaked on hacking websites and the operators do nothing to remedy it. Plus a lot of vulnerabilities, many of them exploited by crackers and intelligence services, which are also not patched.
There is no interest in remedying these problems, why? Because it is better to have the digital door of your home wide open, you know, if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to worry about, you do not have to worry about criminals either...
To mitigate this, we have to stop using the carriers' router, not even using it in bridge mode. We have to get a router that supports open source firmware like OpenWRT, DD-WRT or Tomato.
It is a pain in the ass many times, because you will have to buy a router with an ONT that is compatible with your operator or if you want to be more versatile play with an external ONT, but you have no choice.
As an example a few years ago, I did not have fiber in my house (I am very Jewish) so I bought a directional antenna and started hacking my neighbors wifis, I hacked more than 50 wifis in just a few hours and a few more for fun, I was like that for years, I also performed maintenance on their routers, until I finally decided to hire a fiber service, because some bastard neighbor turned off my router on weekends.
So please, do not use the routers of the operators, they are a sieve.
