Lately I've been trying to degoogle/decorp my life in an effort to increase my privacy. So far I'm running GrapheneOS, using open-source software/apps (VPN, email, cloud storage etc), switched to Linux, switched browsers/search engines, and even switched from smart devices to analog ones. The only thing I have left that I can reasonably give up is a google home router. However, new routers are quite expensive for me. Is it worth buying a new one or does it even matter?

I recently bought a Brume 2 from Gl.Inet, on sale I think it cost me 60€, it runs openWRT and works really well. It has the added bonus of providing a built-in wireguard server (and also client) so I can easily access my home network from anywhere.

If you can spare 130€ the Brume 3 is now out and quite a bit better.
