[PSA] Newer TP-Link Routers send ALL your web traffic to 3rd party servers

 

Having understood that this is potentially a bug, I'm currently collecting info on the side effect this issue could cause and when this is going to be resolved.

(in parallel I've just raised an individual ticket to cust support)

 

Would be great if we could share info on this thread, thanks.
