  • It’s better to setup ACLs instead of VLANs, VLANS can accomplish the goal, but that’s not what they are meant for, whereas that is exactly what ACLs are meant for. I do this with all of my IoT devices. Not a single IoT device has access to WAN, yet I can still remotely access and control them all with a WireGuard tunnel that my phone autoconnects to as soon as I lose access to my WiFi.

    It’s crazy when you have to protect a device that you purchased from the manufacturer so you can use it the way you want. I’m in a similar situation with my Firesticks where I block them from updates. I have removed the shitty ad-infested default dashboard/launcher and put my own clean launcher on it. But Amazon began resetting it with updates and started blocking the ability to change it. The solution was to block the update servers domains to those devices on my network, I lose Prime Video and some other Amazon specific stuff, but it’s worth it. I don’t have a dogshit dashboard… I have a clean dashboard iwth only the apps I want: Kodi clients for my NAS, jellfyin client for my NAS, S0undTV, TiviMate, SmartTube… that’s all I need, and all I want to see.










  • No shit, we have those too, but they obviously cost more so it’s not as common. And that doesn’t counter the fact that in most locations, the code is to put the nice side facing out. Again, this is the point of contention, not whether a fence with two nice sides exists. Try to keep up buddy, if you can.

    The picture is taken in the USA, if you want to join a discussion about fences in the States, then don’t interject your country’s rules. They don’t apply.
