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.

In the US, most IPSs have remote access to your modem as well, even if you purchased it yourself from a store unaffiliated with your ISP.
