Presumably so you’ll be forced to use their DNS, which lets them know what sites you go to. So thanks for that Shaw.
minus-square@xe8link7•3 years agoYou shouldn’t be using an ISP-supplied router anyway, right? You don’t know what they’ve put in the firmware for remote management. Even buying the same model router from a store to replace the ISP one would be preferable.
