Never mind, law is fixed 48h later. Retroactively, what's more - highly dodgy and a typical hallmark of desperado countries, not functional democracies! > honest I've never used any device the ISP has delivered to me, except for > diagnostics.

So far I didn't want double the boxes, double the power, and double the radio radiation and channel congestion. And of course old pfsense is a total no-no now.
