Using a ASUS RT-AC87U, I recently moved from the ASUSwrt
to the ASUSwrt-Merlin. Both use TrendMicro software e.g.
for the "AiProtection", "Adaptive QoS" and "Traffic Analyzer"
Looking at the Trend Micro End User License Agreement
By using the Software, You will also cause certain information (“Forwarded Data”)
to be sent to Trend Micro-owned or -controlled servers[...].
This Forwarded Data may include [...] URLs of websites visited [...] and/or
executable files or content[...].
Forwarded Data may also include email messages [...] that contains personally
identifiable information or other sensitive data stored in files on Your router.
I definitely won't accept a "BigBrother" controlling which
websites I visit and looking through my emails
(and I wonder if all the other users really read this license agreement).
There seems to be no way to uninstall this software, but I hope
that no data will be sent, if I don't accept the license agreement...
In the system protocol section, I don't see a log about the connections
(only a list about the active connections).
So it is even hard to see, what e.g. my "SmartTV" is doing...
(And after all I'm quite disappointed about a router with
a high energy consumption, but limited functionality...)
Is there a way to get some similar functionality of the
Trend Micro stuff mentioned above, keeping the data locally (or on a NAS)?
Is there e.g. Optware or Entware software to fill this gap?
Or is DD-WRT (http://dd-wrt.com/) the better alternative in this case?
However, there seems only a beta to be available for the ASUS RT-AC87U at the moment...

Thank you,
