I'm currently living in China and I'm looking for some help with finding a solution to de-google my internet. I'm not very well versed in OpenWRT, so I'm not 100% sure this can be accomplished (or if anyone has done it already)
I've noticed over the past couple of years living here that more and more websites outside of the firewall will load stuff from Google (analytics/fonts/ajax/AMP etc.) and it's leaving the internet more and more broken for us here. Some of this I can just block (like analytics and ads) but a lot of it is necessary and more importantly could be loaded from alternate websites. I guess the real issues is that webmasters are not adding JS fallbacks to have resources loaded from somewhere other than google (or hosting the resources themselves). So I'm looking for some solution, ideally on an OpenWRT router, that will redirect the javascript/fonts requests away from Google to some alternative hosts (a local cache would also be fantastic - but I don't want to ask for too much ).
I know I probably don't have a very popular use case, but I'd have thought someone has done it for privacy reasons by now as well
PS: I know I can "just use a VPN", which I do for now, but they're unstable, have terrible support and have other issues. At the end of the day the way I see it, VPNs are a bit of dirty hack and I really don't like using them
