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.

    Interesting. Thanks for the info. I’ll re-think whether I recommend it to random people around the world, then.

    In Germany it’s great. I’ve been using it for many years now. But we have some good/strong hacker organizations, digital sovereignty and privacy groups, nonprofits and some generous IT companies. Maybe it’s random private individuals in other countries and they’re not as reliable.

    Seems right now there’s something going wrong anyway. I don’t think the amount of “offline” servers is normal. And a good amount of them isn’t even offline, but still answer my DNS queries.
