        Thanks! Just to be sure, the router company becomes inconsequential when I install openwrt, or am I mistaken?

        As in say I buy a linksys router and install openwrt, linksys can no longer spy on my traffic, so I shouldn’t worry about that, right?

          Yeah. There’s a possibility that there is a backdoor built into the soc, but that would be nation state level stuff that would be extremely difficult to uncover.
