Hi there, I’m looking to get into self-hosting for privacy reasons and I wanted to ask y’all: how inadvisable is it to utilize an ISP-owned router/modem? I feel like they’re able to track everything I do online with their more than likely integrated spyware.

This is why I got a mini PC with five Ethernet ports and configured it as a router/pihole.

Everything goes through a WireGuard VPN, and I have DNS that’s private.

And I know it’s secure because I wrote the iptables myself.
