For what reason?

normies are scared of ip addresses so they use a hostname instead to avoid calls about getting hacked or its too complicated they need to send a technician to setup their router for them

normies and these garbage electronics manufacturers all need to be gassed.
From personal experience people are more likely to google search an IP address and get scammed then mistype a domain which in most cases won't resolve.
Except mistyped domains very often do resolve to malware sites.

>normies are scared of ip addresses
sometimes I wonder if there are any websites that do not have a domain name and are instead only accessible if you know the IP.
yes but they cant have https
use OpenWRT
or Merlin if your Asus is supported
>ASUS router account
good thing I use OpenWRT and never have to deal with shit like that
Getting a cheap Chinese PfSense PC and installing OPNSense was one or the best decisions I made in terms of home networking.
what benefits do you get from having a local firewall?
I use it as a router and NAT.
What benefits does this give me moving from my ISPs router/model?
Probably not much. I just like the NAT and DNS rules I use for my server.
WireGuard support is also nice. As a completely unnecessary but nice thing, I now have a GPS NTP server.
Assuming ignorance rather than trolling:
Any modern router (even the shitty one Comcast sent you) should also have a firewall built in. The main difference between the crappy modem/router/switch/AP and a PFSense, OPNSense, or other commercial firewall; is the level of control you have over the firewall such as being able to specify individual ACL entries vs just port forwarding or specifying a "DMZ host" (usually not what you actually wanted).
Whether that's a good thing or not depends on your firewall knowledge and/or willingness to learn.
You also get other features like VPN tunneling and more configurable DHCP/DNS.
Why don't regular routers have that stuff
Do it

My router is custom built with gaymer parts
Not really related but since we are talking about ips and hostnames...it finally happened, an0nibarchive just got clienthold by ICANN,
for whatever reason my local anycast adguard dns STILL resolves to it, but dnschecker shows that all the other DNS' have dropped it
so switch to Adguard and singlefile any cool threads while u still can, hell I may even up to tiinyhost my fav ones
Btw Cloudflare captcha on here and other sites fails if I view desktop site on my Android, has to be mobile site
on a sidenote I just got them disposable Bic flex 4 and I'm amazed at how good it is for the dirtcheap price
And as I recall kiwifarms told users to just connect directly to their ipv4 address when their domains got similarly yanked, but this won't work with ibarchive since it's protected by CF
cause that's funny
