Yup. This is what I’ve found to be the problem for me. And yes it’s quite ironic

That’s a lame excuse to not reap the benefits GrapheneOS provides

I tried that for a couple months but it didn’t seem to do really anything useful. Any tips to make it work better?

Awesome, thanks!

It absolutely does matter. The obvious privacy aspect is that it’s the base of your entire network so it can gobble up all your data. The security aspect is that routers based on OpenWRT get security updates for many many years, unlike typical routers.

You can change whatever settings you like but ultimately it’s closed software so you can’t trust it. Do what you need to practice privacy with the intent of getting a Graphene phone when possible for you

I would like to know too please

Return it and get an older car. You are aware of the issues and they concern you so why would you choose to continue to live with it?
