Fair point, I didn't think of that. Any IoT device gets put in the "naughty" vlan and 99% of their outgoing requests goes straight to /Dev/null
I do the same thing. All they're allowed to talk to is Home Assistant except for when I allow internet access to update firmware.
I need to set up my VLANs 🥺
Its saved my skin once when my retard cousin connected his malware infected laptop to my "I domt control this device" network. Only other thing on the network was my work laptop that has a ton of security on it. More than I even have on my stuff. So it lit up like a Christmas tree and commited suicide. Get a ping from my boss asking what the fuck I downloaded lmao.
You're making me wanna cry. I need this in my life!
My ISP router can do vlan mate.
Why are you so bitter? Chill out.
Ubiquiti ERX $59.
Consumer grade Netgear routers support VLANs.
