Maybe this is too nerdy for this group. I got an OpenWRT ONE router, replaced the old TP-Link one I had. The bad press got to me. The new one is fast, I could not believe how much faster things like downloading files is now.
The worst part was that I had picked out a complicated password with lots of punctuation, and typing that on phones and on-screen keyboards for TVs and game consoles was painful.
Also I pinged Google, and got an IPv6 response for the first time.
Dude, you can’t just throw OpenWRT out there in a group like this. But since you have thrown caution to the wind…I was just updating my DNS settings to the CIRA ones for Canada hosted DNS private/protected. Prior to that I was running shred -v -n3 /dev/sdX on some harddrives.
