    Well its just natural for coubtries to do this at this point when they dont like each other

    In an off topic, I often prefer a open hardware router like raspberry pi router as it gives me control! For me it’s safer to use as documentation is open like pfsense and openwrt.

        There’s already OpenWrt for Pi. All you need is to add a switch or a USB ethernet adapter.

              If anyone at the user level is concerned about backdoors, the OpenWrt One comes straight from AliExpress. 😂 With that said there’s probably magnitudes less risk of something nefarious going on with a low volume machine built by Banana Pi than TP-Link.
