What should I buy that supported by OpenWRT?

I think you’re right. I guess I need a wired router that can run OpenVPN on stock firmware or supported by and OpenWRT can be installed on it and has the hardware needed to run OpenVPN clients. The problem is I don’t know what to buy now and honestly where I live there are not many options

Thanks but I think you misunderstood. I don’t want to run a VPN server I want to run a openVPN client on a router

Makes sense Well explained thanks. I guess I’ll find a dedicated VPN router

Can I run OpenVPN configs on it and use it as a roiter

I already have a pi4B just wanted to find a use case for it. Is it really that bad? so how consumer routers with a fifth computing power run vpns?

LibreTube and materialious both have de-arrow and SponsorBlock implemented

Good point Thanks I’m will test mint in a VM for a while then dual boot mint beside Windows

Wow I didn’t expect such elaborate explanation thanks you’re awesome Then mint is where my journey begins

I think you’re right maybe debian is suited to some applications which really prioritizes stability over everything. which distro do you suggest dual boot on a three year old Windows laptop (I have two separate ssd drives on it so it’s safe for dual booting). I did a little research on it and seems like everyone suggests fedora or mint but you use secure blue. Which one should I go with?

Honestly I’m just not sure about Debian being insecure take that being said I run Windows on my devices and never used Linux before (I need coporate CAM/CAD software I should try dual booting but I’m too lazy😅) so maybe you’re right I just don’t know

Thanks Very informative I agree with almost all your takes here

Thanks I’ll give it a try always wanted to have a less restrictive profile beside Arkenfox

I don’t think there is an easy way to keep betterfox update. Unlike Arkenfox which has a simple script for updating and applying my modifications

I remember I tried betterfox in a new user profile but I realized you had to manually download and add your modifications to betterfox user js everytime it gets updated which is honestly unacceptable for me so I decided to stick with Arkenfox user js with my modifications

There are 4 privacy respecting VPNs out there: Mullvad, Proton VPN, IVPN, Windscribe. As for my opinion I have been using Windscribe for years now and it’s been great but I have a specific use case for a VPN so I need one regardless of the privacy aspect. My point is if you want a VPN just for the hypothetical privacy gains in my opinion you’re wasting time and money.

I know It’s not FOSS but I love Niagara Launcher maybe give it a shot and if you want to you can just cut off it’s internet access

You can install Google camera app on GrapheneOS if you want to

Good point. I checked all the Brave settings but there was no such option
