Hi all,
I’m slowly moving into the self hosted mindset specially for privacy, security and sailing the high seas. This community has been invaluable but I’d like to know which routers you use that fit well with this and plays nice with the services we’re hosting.
I’m mostly thinking about wifi support, openwrt, vpn (not a hard requirement), vlans, etc. I know probably a networking community would be a better place for this question, but I think this might be useful for other “self-hosters”
I can vouch for MikroTik also. I have no access to fiber, so my choice was to get crappy Huawei or ZTE with limited customisation option or get MikroTik. I have bought Chateau 5G AX. I was able to bypass mobile CGNAT with Wireguard tunnel to a virtual MikroTik on cheap VPS, as my mobile provider does not offer static IP for non business customers. I am also running reverse proxy on my server to access my network directly thanks to Wireguard tunnel. You can edit nearly everything on MikroTik router (including MAC address on any interface and even spoof IMEI number when it has LTE like mine).
