Make sure you flash them / check their traffic. They make some telemetry requests IIRC.

- 1vuio0pswjnm7 6y agoBy extracting the firmware^1 one can see that GL.inet provides a cloud storage service. This is opt-in. It is not enabled by default. The cloud storage has a telemetry address listed in /etc/config/glbigdata (and a ping address to Google at 8.8.8.8). Perhaps one could use the service and change "telemetry.goodcloud.xyz" to the loopback or delete it. I have no inclination to test this as I do not use cloud storage. 1. https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/download.gl-inet.com/firmware/mt300n-v2/v1/openwrt-mt300n-v2-3.201-0402.bin https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/download.gl-inet.com/firm... With default configs IME one will see some constant traffic to 8.8.8.8. This is from OpenWRT mwan3's default configs. These defaults are left unchanged by GL.inet and probably other routers running OpenWRT. I have never seen anyone complain about this traffic. I doubt this is what is being referred to as "telemetry" in the above comment. Nevertheless, it is constant pinging to Google, OpenDNS or some other third party. In typical Linux fashion, mwan3, a daemon not every user is going to need, is enabled by default anyway. https://github.com/gl-inet/gli-pub/raw/master/mwan3/files/etc/config/mwan3 https://github.com/gl-inet/gli-pub/raw/master/mwan3/files/et...
