Openwrt (Open Wireless Router) is an open source router Operating system: Kernel and Utilities.
I have been using it at home for a while with my mikrotik HapAC2.
It gives you full control and lets you install packages for a customised experience.
My favourite packages are:
- luci-app-vnstat and luci-app-nlbwmon – network monitoring (who is using all the data)
- luci-app-adblock – ad blocking, telemetry and tracking data
- luci-app-dns-https-proxy – force dns queries to be private (over https)
- luci-app-statistics – real-time statistics
All packages with the luci prefix mean they are shown or managed on the luci – web interface. As opposed to just on the command line.
