Spent $300 on a 'privacy' router and I'm not sure it did anything
I bought this thing called a Gl.iNet router six months ago because the ads said it would stop my ISP from seeing everything I do. It was a pain to set up, and I had to mess with VPN settings for hours. My internet got slower, and I still got ads for things I looked up on my phone. Honestly, it feels like I just paid a lot for a fancy box that makes my Wi-Fi worse. Has anyone actually had a good experience with one of these, or is it mostly hype?

Ugh, I read a whole thing about how those mostly just hide your traffic from your ISP, not from the sites themselves. The ads probably come from Google or Facebook tracking you.
