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.

AT&T fiber does allow IP passthrough mode though so if you want to run your own hardware you can.

    That or you can double NAT if an ISP doesn't allow passthrough. It makes self hosting tougher but if you can port forward on the provided device and just forward everything it's basically passthrough mode.
