“If you can firewall your LAN - you can also firewall your WiFi.”

Huh? Your WiFi is (part of) your LAN.

That’s what I’m saying, yes.

  • Ok, I don’t understand your point, then. If a device works locally then you can firewall it and block any nasty stuff phoning home. If it runs everything through the manufacturer’s servers then you can’t firewall it without disabling it entirely.

    • Read the thread. People are saying ‘if it connects to the LAN it’s safe’.

      I’m pointing out safe or not has nothing to do with it being on a LAN or not.
