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.
Yeah I run it on a cheap asus router. Learned stuff like don’t run adguard on it if you don’t have that much ram
Run it on a cheap fanless x86 box instead.
