Already contacted @AOU and suggested using Unstoppable Domains and getting an .onion service.

Also, I suggest users use Brave Browser since it not only has TOR built in with private windows but also has partnered wth Unstoppable Domains to fully support blockchain based DNS.

edit: It seems to be back up. I posted on some other similar sites and it started working again in a few hours. But AOU should take precautions now.

You signed the contract. They had your permission. And it's not even the same router. They have 2 routers inside their connection boxes.

Well I didn't say I sued them over it. I don't doubt they expose it in the fine print somewhere, but no one reads those, and it's a shitty default. I do appreciate that they use two routers. I'm not sure what the security implications of having two routers are vs the security implications of sharing a cable with your neighbors in the first place. Really, if they want to use their infrastructure to provide free or login-based WiFi to the world, that's not my problem. Why do they need to do so from within my house? Why can't they just put a box wherever they put their cable equipment?

Because they are using your residence to shelter their device and your electricity to power it.

Last I checked you can disable it.

Last I checked it was a separate chipset and not a virtual network, so there was no way an outside user could access your network.
