I'm moving into an existing household as a flatmate soon, they have an existing internet connection setup and distributed via WiFi points (Think they are Orbi units).

 

What options do I have to keep my devices and usage private? I could double NAT with my own router setup to hide my devices but in theory, someone could still log my DNS requests/packet sniff etc, is that correct? Want to avoid using VPN due to bottlenecking speeds.

Sounds paranoid, just value my privacy. 

 

Any ideas?

Put in your own internet connection on a second port on the ONT

Thanks, this would be a solution, just checked but not supported on my router unfortunately. I might need to look at some new hardware.

Whatever weird thing you connect will be blamed whenever the internet goes out because other people do not understand it, so IMO the second connection is the best idea. Also means you get out of paying a share of that connection that they share.
