Noob here. This is probably the most repeated question, but I don’t know the technical terms to make the appropiate digging online, and thought of asking humans before slopping my way around.
I don’t trust my ISP or the government above it.
The ISP remotely manages the local network! So I installed a router of my own and my devices only to that one.
I would like to encrypt (?) anything that goes out of my own router, so my ISP doesn’t evesdrop what I’m doing even if they want to (I know I know… if they really wanted, they could just send friends to my house).
Using Linux, Android GOS, and Pihole. They live under a “picked-up-from-a-shelf” router; and that router under theirs.
(I cannot get a different ISP)
Thanks
On top of client VPNs you might consider the possible other freebies from yr ISP such as router, WiFi access points and other network elements they provide you with. Set-op-boxes as well. All those equipments are absolutely ratting you as much as possible. Also any software including mobile apps they provide for support / billing / whatever.
I think I am not understanding this comment. I’m saying I don’t trust the ISP. Why would I invade my house and phone with more of their gadgets?
They don’t provide you any equipment ? Then good. It’s very typical for them to do so.
