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

    so the modem that you have from your ISP it is not possible to configure it as, ONT,Bridge or Full Bridge . 🤔

    Since you are just starting out, I recommend you start by subscribing to a VPN, (don’t use the free ones)avoid tor for now, I use Mullvad which only allows 5 devices at the same time, but there are others, I recommend you choose those that don’t keep logs.

      If you are able to set up OpenWRT on your router and run Mullvad through that, you can cover your whole network as one “device.”

      I recommend everyone get their own modem/router if they are able to. ISP’s don’t provide them for free and you have no idea what monitoring they do with their hardware.
