It's been a few weeks since I set this up to try and keep my DNS requests a little more private, and honestly, it's been a bit of a hassle. Getting it to work reliably with my router was way more complicated than I expected, and I've still had occasional connection hiccups – almost like my internet just randomly pauses for a second.
Been using this for about six months now to keep my ISP from snooping on my browsing habits. It was a bit of a pain to set up at first, but it’s been rock solid ever since. 5/5
