I needed to get a 4G data hub/dongle because I live in a rural area in the U.K. and can’t get fast broadband.


The ISP sent me a HUAWEI 4G Router 3 Pro, but I’m wondering if it’s safe to use. I don’t know a lot about cyber security but I’ve seen in the news that several countries including the U.S. and U.K. have banned Huawei from building the 5G infrastructure in their respective countries because it could be passing information to the Chinese state.


Does this mean that Huawei is an untrustworthy company, could there be a back door in this router’s firmware or am I being paranoid? Even if there was a back door, would using a VPN help?

Hello, friend!


According to your description, you need to know that your device is a customized version of the ISP. That is, the ISP customizes the device information from Huawei. Huawei only provides manufacturing devices, but the version and functions of the device are determined by the ISP. Therefore, when you ask whether the device is secure. In fact, you should ask if your ISP is secure.
