[QUOTE="SumTingWong, post: 1059620, member: 71335"] I have ASUS AX RT-55 WIFI 6 in mesh routers, and I turn off ASUS AI Protection and only use router's built in firewall. I simply don't trust trend micro privacy policy, AI protection slow down my internet speed from 500 to 430ish, and I find it doesn't protect me as much as software-based security and 3rd party DNS like NextDNS and Quad9. ASUS have no control over Trend Micro's privacy policy. You can test it if you like it or not. Some people like it and some people don't. "what can be seen by Trend Micro: • Product information, such as MAC address, device ID • Public IP address of the user’s gateway to the internet • Mobile/PC environment • Metadata from suspicious executable files • [B]URLs, Domains and IP addresses of websites visited[/B] (which answers the question in the title of this article) • Metadata of user/device managed by gateway Product • Application behaviours • [B]Personal information contained within email content or files to which Trend Micro is provided access [/B] • [B]Behaviours of Product users[/B] • [B]Information from suspicious email, including sender and receiver email address, and attachments[/B] • Detected malicious file information • Detected malicious network connection information • Debug logs • Network Architecture/Topology • Screen capture of errors" [/QUOTE]
