About Zwetow
I’ve always been the kind of person that likes to take things apart just to see how they work.
If something can be improved, automated, cleaned up, or rebuilt better, I’m probably going to mess with it. That’s just how I am. I like tinkering. I like understanding what’s going on under the hood. And I especially like building things that actually solve a problem.
How It Started
A few years ago I started running Pi-hole at home. Then I added WireGuard. Then monitoring. Then I rebuilt it again because I thought I could do it cleaner. It worked, but it always felt like a project.
And honestly, not everyone wants a project.
Why Zwetow Exists
Most people don’t want to flash SD cards, SSH into devices, or figure out why DNS stopped working after a power outage. They just want ads blocked and secure access to their home network without thinking about it.
So I started refining my own setup into something more stable. Something repeatable. Something I’d feel comfortable handing to family and saying, don’t worry, this just works.
That’s what this turned into.
How It’s Built
This isn’t a mass produced gadget. It’s a small, purpose built network appliance based on tools I actually use in my own house. Every unit is assembled, configured, and tested by hand. I treat it like something going on my own network, because that’s the standard I care about.
What I Believe
I don’t like unnecessary subscriptions. I don’t like giving up control of my own network. And I don’t like overcomplicated systems when simple ones do the job better.
This started as tinkering. It grew into something practical.
If you want a cleaner internet experience at home, more control over your network, and something that just quietly does its job, this was built for you.
