Come along as I explore how dangerous Chinese wireless routers actually are and whether you should give them a chance.0:00 Introduction0:28 A brief history o...
After getting the Xiaomi BE7000, I started wondering whether it was such a good idea…
Yeah that as well, wouldn’t feel save with Chinese router, maybe there is software tracking VPNs or TOR nodes and something like taht 😬 rather pay the few bucks more for one that i can trust.
Yes but the vpn service i use is set in Switzerland and the German intelligence agencies aren’t very effective, also the process to get a court order (wich they still need) to get my data is way to long for the stuff i do. Its not like its impossible but waaay more unlikely than when i put myself in danger by using a Chinese one and getting permanently harvested for data.
TL:DW Yes they are, regardless of what anyone says. They are also underperforming.
Some data is definitely collected especially if the router is made for mainland China.

Well…the domestic routers also conduct in heavy data collection and some have technical backdoors, so I don’t know.
Always get a router that you can install OpenWRT or OPNsense on.
Or stop mucking about with toys and use protectli running opnsense.
Eh im in Germany so i don’t need to think about the shitshow happening in USA regarding that.
Isn’t Germany part of the 14 eyes?
