I have many nerdy friends who have been Linux users for ages. But most of them don’t know such a thing as Openwrt exists or have never bothered to give it a try. It’s a very fun piece of software to play with and can be extremely useful for routing traffic. Wondering why it isn’t more popular/widely used.

        Whether it is as secure as I would like, I am not sure, but it definitely seems better than just raw dogging a random wifi network.

        Lmao. Thanks for the read and laugh.

      A lot of places will restrict the number of devices you can connect. If I connect my router to the hotel WiFi, I can connect as many devices as I want. I also like having a firewall between my devices and the public WiFi. I can run a VPN on the router and have all of my devices go through it if necessary as well.
