If the security of your router is of concern to you I would recommend setting up your own FreeBSD+pfSense router.
Another option is to setup a vpn server that all your devices connect to to access the internet. In that scenario it won't matter if your router is compromised because all traffic flowing through would be encrypted.
- posguy 9y agoPFSense runs PHP as root. Let that just sink in for a second, does that sound like a recipe for security? Nevermind the community, when it comes to vaguely complex things like IPTV and similar, support is either legacy or gone. At this point OpenWRT is the only sane choice, at least it doesn't run everything as root and isn't going to shove off Multicast UDP packet forwarding support in the next year or two.
