    Your router is GPS geotagged and recording/reporting all your audio/video/Facebook/Reddit/etc search activity, so good luck with that.

    Even I’m not totally immune.

      Would love to know how considering I bought the hardware and maintain it. The Geo tag is a county over due to the IP of the ISP which you can only relocate it with a VPN.

      My router is Opnscence & pihole VMs running on a proxmox host with unbound/DHCP, VLAN segmentation and DHCP snooping on managed switches . YMMV

      DNS resolution, split DHCP/DNS roles, and segmented services FTW.

      Cost? 1 discarded enterprise miniPC, 1 extra NIC and a managed switch. (Cheaper than some commercial routers if you’re creative.)

      Your router is GPS geotagged

      Not if you turn the wifi off.

      and recording/reporting all your audio/video/Facebook/Reddit/etc search activity

      Recording all my VPN activity, maybe. But all it’s going to see is a lot of encrypted traffic to and from my VPN server.

        Oh, when they install your internet router, they register your address and GPS. So go ahead and turn your WiFi off, they still know where you are.

        Fun question…

        What OS am I posting from?

        What browser? Where from?

        Not saying you can’t sort it out, perhaps you can.

        Just curious…
