Balatan is one of if not the biggest contributor in Android modding scene and mobilism for a long time (Uploaders that have purple names in mobilism are major android releasers and generally very trustworthy). if you still have doubts try checking the APK in virustotal

I don’t watch that kind of content. Some of my favorite streamers are on kick I just follow them. The rest is none of my concern.

Thanks that’s right uBlock is always the answer!

It’s a Twitch alternative platform. Not sure about being evil and all that

Thanks will try grayjay but I think kick plugin was in beta maybe it’s gotten better since last time I checked

So you’re from the first reddit exodus (third party apps ban) in 2023 like me.

If you can replace it do it. If that’s not an option them harden it as much as you can in setting

Congrats. It’s definitely a nice device for 89$ and you support the project at the same time. Unfortunately it’s not available here.

I honestly don’t know much about Microtik’s RouterOS but in a few occasions I had I realised it is way too complicated for home user and their OS is not FOSS and needs payed license too. I’m sure it’s great once you get the hang of it but it’s unnecessary pain when there is OpenWRT available with a lot of devices you can choose not just one specific manufacturer

Well explained. I get it now

I have port forwarding setup on my devices (Google WiFi running OpenWRT). I can connect to most piers on qbitorrent. My only limit seems to be my bandwidth Which is what we want.

Damn I’m sold next step I gonna look into them

Thanks I had no idea that sounds great. I looked online they’re devices are not available at all where I live but that’s may not be the case for other.

As a matter of fact I heard about them but I don’t know much about OPNSense. Do they support devices other than ones they sell? They seem to be rather about professional environment not home network am right?

That’s interesting like which devices? Could you elaborate

You’re welcome. Sorry I didn’t named some specific devices but that’s because device availability and price changes drastically region to region so something maybe a great deal where I live but that may not be the case for you or the other way around.that said Xiaomi and some Hauwei maybe tp-link devices are the best bang for the buck in my corner of the world look into those maybe that’s the case for you too. Also Here is the new version of the table of hardware with more details

Sorry I don’t know much about DD-WRT to be honest. I myself have a Google WiFi mesh pack of three devices which I bought second hand for about 30$. They are excellent value in my opinion so maybe look into that if you’re interested

It comes down to specs and your needs but these are a must in my opinion:

1. having atleast 128 mb of storage or some way to expand it.
2. 256 mb of memory or more
3. suppot WiFi 6 or better 6E or 7
4. Support for mesh protocols if you need it
5. Decent multi core chipset if you gonna run intensive tasks on it (like VPNs or DNS filtering) etc… the list goes on but like I said It really comes down to your needs ( on a side note consider read the details and installation guide page before buying some brands and models are easier than others to tinker with for sure)

Guys please before buying expensive routers check OpenWRT’s table of hardware and buy one that is supported by current OpenWRT release and has decent specs. Free yourself from stupid hardware manufacturers and planed obsolescence
