Yesterday, here's how I connected to the Internet from home:
I used a router someone else (AT&T) owned. This router was hard-coded to record every website I visit (because it redirected all DNS queries to AT&Ts servers).
Today, here's how I connect to the Internet:
I use a router I own, running #openWRT and using #pihole for nearly all of my DNS queries, falling back to #openNIC for the rest.

Yep.
And they also did it in about the laziest way possible—the web UI still has a configuration option to change the DNS, but it's grayed out and can't be changed from the AT&T server.

Way to go.
@codesections Do AT&T really hard-code the DNS entries? That’s awful.
