Google has actually taken great strides to make custom ROMs as easy as humanly possible

I guess that is besides:

• slowly, but surely, stopping development of many AOSP core apps in favour of their own proprietary apps.
• ensuring many of their apps are basically unusable with a custom ROM
• making it so easy for app devs to block custom ROMs

Dunno, but that’s all Google stuff.

I don’t think I fully understand how this is supposed to work. Am I correct in that this service acts as the gateway on the network? So clients would be configured to see this as the gateway, and this then subsequently pushes things through the real gateway (router)? Thus essentially everything (most things?) that the router does would be done by this instead?

Interesting time to say this while Israeli military are killing civilians left and right.

I don’t condone what Hamas is doing, but you can’t just say that without acknowledging that Israeli military is doing equally bad, if not worse, things.
