got a soft routing device installed with openwrt and gave it a quick go-through of its web portal. amazed that soft routing have so many add-ins or built-in functions that can help us have a better experience of network browsering, like ad blockers, speed fasting tools, etc.
it is said that there are many more functions available for soft routing OS as it’s open-source of its nature and welcomes people’s modification based on their own needs, which is one of the core values of open source. compared with soft routing, the hard routing we use for our home environment are quite easy and simple. with few clicks, the network is ready for us, though with its designed formate and with its own way of working.
i will try to dig more on the soft routing and maybe write some articles on further experience.
