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.

Most ISPs have remote access to their modems. You should use your own if possible. If you can't, then put it in bridge mode and connect your own router to it.
