+1 from me. They're hard as hell to get hold of due to businesses buying them up as soon as they become available, but if you set up a simple autorefresh extension on their product page and leave it running on a second monitor, you mig

A lot of people get technicians in to install the hardware, their default mode is to just next,next finish until the router is ready. Chances are it's the technicians themselves turning on the blocking. Not in a malicious or tinfoil ha

I'd imagine it was more "I can silence and harass whomever I like, and expect to be silenced and harassed in return". Kinda the basic principle behind FOS as I understand it.
