I got a pretty great openwrt router, I want to set it up as privacy respecting as possible.

I am aiming to set it up offline as much as posssible before giving it network access.

I have always used ISP provided units so this is new. It comes with adguard and such but I am thinking about a fresh install to be safe?

Yeah we are on the same wavelength. I have to set up vlans for home assistant but then I need that to include my phone so I can use the app.

HA has a remote service but I heard it leaves something open to the wider world.

I want to VPN back to my home when using mobile data so I can get the benefit of the VPN and adguard etc.

I will be using mullvad and a second one where I need a static IP, nord or proton by the looks of it.

I havent figured out the vlan and vpn hierarchy yet.

I presume there is fingerprinting with what type of router you have so I am trying to approach this in such a way that minimal units get to know the router before it becomes the live router
