That also means that if someone hacks your MyProximus customer account, they can happily change your Wi-Fi password, disable it, or mess with the DHCP settings, or even mess with the router IP itself. Or disable the firewall. Or open up port `80` or setup a series of port forwarding rules. Or keep on rebooting the router. From a security point of view, that sounds like a job well done!
Even if there's an option to disable any features and treat it as a pass-through device in order to bring in my own router, I still cannot disable the publicly (if you've got the credentials) accessible part of the configuration, where config can be messed up at will.

[^mess]: I presume remote reconfigurability was already a part of the B-Box 3 line as a tool for support, but not as an end user endpoint. At least you can enable 2FA, which is my _good-enough_ solution until I replace the stock modem.
None of the Flemish tech-related websites that cover the new Internet Box, like [this Knack DataNews article](https://datanews.knack.be/nieuws/alles-wat-je-moet-weten-over-de-nieuwe-internetbox-van-proximus/), seem to care about this: all they care about is how future-proof the 1GB DDR3 RAM and 512M flash storage is compared to its predecessor that had "only" 256MB RAM and 128MB storage. Hurray for digitization and technological progress.

**Misc**
- Etar Calendar: a FOSS calendar widget alternative.
- NetGuard: currently under evaluation, with this you can block internet access on (system) package level.
- Automate: currently under evaluation, with this you can create widgets that activate a custom workflow (see [Zach Young's notes on this](https://zachyoung.dev/posts/obsidian-quick-capture-for-android)). Used as a quick link to my Obsidian Scratchpad note file.
- [Material Files](https://github.com/zhanghai/MaterialFiles) as a proper FOSS File Explorer.
