  • Sounds like you are using a custodial wallet. And things like that happen all the time with custodial wallets. Count this as a lesson learned. Not your keys, not your crypto. Also, do keep in mind that blockchains such as that are completely transparent, so any money you send or receive over it can be looked at any time in the future. If that does not sound appealing to you, I would take a look at Monero and cake wallet.











  • Well, I can’t help you much with what router to get, but one thing I do is use ControlD.com free DNS. They have several levels of blocking you can do for free. You can do no blocking at all, you can block known malware, you can block known malware, and advertising, or you can block known malware, advertising, and big social media. Since this is on the router DNS setting, it will apply to every device as long as it is on your network. And then you can also set it up on your Android or iPhone so that when you are on mobile data, it also keeps the same level of blocking.









  • Okay, according to the article, this functionality will only activate after you have signed into a Google account for the first time on the device. So, at least for those of us who use custom software such as lineage OS, that won’t matter since we don’t put a Google account on the device to begin with in a lot of cases. A lot of us boot the phone for the first time, skip the entire setup wizard as fast as possible without signing in or any of that stuff, and then immediately enable OEM unlocking and flash the lineage or whatever software.
