Running OpenWRT is generally a good idea. I’m not gonna lie and say it’s easy to setup. But it’s worth it.

It's a good idea, but there's going to be firmware at lower levels (roughly the BIOS) that could still be compromised. It's best to just not buy Chinese hardware designed and manufactured by a Chinese company with no western involvement when you can avoid it.

Yeah! I only want my own government spying on me and screwing with me!

My router comes from Latvia. I'll only be worried if they get invaded by Russia.
