Your ISP gave you a router.

It is not your router.

It can log every DNS query. Every device that connects. What time you go online. What time you stop.

On April 3, 2017, Trump signed S.J.Res 34 into law. In one signature, ISPs became legally allowed to sell your browsing history without your consent.

In the first half of 2024 alone, AT&T received 152,561 law enforcement demands for customer data. Verizon received 145,195. Straight from each company's own transparency report.

Then Comcast rents you the box. Xfinity xFi Gateway: $15 a month. $180 a year, for hardware you never own.

Then Netgear locks basic security behind Armor: $99.99 a year.

Then Amazon locks parental controls behind eero Plus: $9.99 a month.

Then most consumer router vendors drop firmware support within 3 to 5 years.

Then in December 2024, the U.S. Commerce Department opened an investigation into TP-Link, the most-shipped router brand in America, for potential national security ties to China.

You are renting access to your own internet in 2026.

Now meet OpenWrt.

A free and open source Linux operating system that flashes onto over 2,500 router models and gives you back full control of your own network.

Born in January 2004 after Linksys shipped the WRT54G running Linux firmware. Under the GPL, Linksys was required to publish the source. A small community took that code and rebuilt what a home router could be.

Twenty-two years later, OpenWrt runs on TP-Link. Netgear. Linksys. D-Link. Asus. GL.iNet. Ubiquiti. Xiaomi. Old routers whose vendors stopped patching still get fresh builds today.

27,681 stars. 12,693 forks. GPL-2.0.

- Full Linux root with 8,000+ packages
- WireGuard and OpenVPN server built in
- Ad blocking and DNS filtering network-wide
- Guest networks, VLANs, per-device firewall rules
- SQM traffic shaping for video calls
- Home Assistant, Prometheus, Grafana exporters
- LuCI web interface, no command line

Here is what OpenWrt costs:

Zero. Forever. On every device you flash.

Comcast charges $15 a month to rent a router. OpenWrt doesn't.
Netgear charges $99.99 a year for security. OpenWrt doesn't.
eero locks parental controls behind $9.99 a month. OpenWrt doesn't.

For one Xfinity subscriber, you save $180 a year.
For one Netgear Orbi owner, you save $99.99 a year.
For one eero household, you save $120 a year.

Your router. Your firmware. Your network.

100% Open Source. (Link in the comments)

@HedgieMarkets If there are no originals left, what guarantee is there that the stored digital copy hasn't already been altered by AI? This is a very dangerous path... But it has already been chosen!
