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?

If you would like to go on a different route, a mini PC with opnsense is also a good choice. If you happen to have a small form factor PC somewhere that can be added a nic card to have at least 2 Ethernet ports, this would totally work
