  • Auhorities in other European countries are known to MitM SSL certs at VPS providers for years already. Switzerland is moving their legislation towards the EU direction. Proton themselves have been vocal about their concerns about this.

    How long until someone realizes they can demand Proton to inject some extra JS into the webmail for desired targets? Folks in a sensitive situation should follow the established best-practice of not relying on remotely served JS for client-side encryption. To be safe against this vecor, handle your encryption and signing outside of the webmail; either in your own client or copy/pasting.

    Personally I’m too paranoid about security and sus of Intel to be comfortable with vPro but you do you.

    That said, I’d go for 1, considering you already have that 6th gen on hand in case you need a spare.

    Otherwise 3 or 4 (whichever is available on secondary markets for a decent price) and hang on to that Pentium in case need arises. Doesn’t sound like the extra power draw of an i7 is worth it for this build.

    Rule of thumb for OpenWRT:

    In general for consumer routers, Broadcom-based ones like the one posted require a lot of work and hacking to port and maintain. If they’re even working with OpenWRT at all it can be quite dicey and troblesome if you are not very lucky.

    In comparison, Mediatek-based models tend to be better supported and smoother sailing.

    I haven’t seen much of Qualcomm but I’d guess they fall somewhere closer to Broadcom.

    So no, I don’t think it’s a good pick. If OP got it handed down for free it might be worth a shot but I would buy something else if the purpose is to run OpenWRT or any Linux or BSD on it.
