People here: “Hahha, I’m so smart, I’m going to flash openwrt/opnsense and use whatever PC as a router”
They want you to do that. This law exists for a reason, to decrease use of foreign proprietary, potentially unsafe software in critical infrastructure.
By using openwrt you’re doing what lawmakers want you to do.




Dear American government, I have a better idea: Ban proprietary software on routers. You can even go a bit further and ban proprietary OSes totally. This way nobody will spy on your citizens without their knowledge.
