I think I was going for the firewall as a means if perimeter security.
Are you referring to the firewall on the router?
it’s fairly uncommon that people go wardriving
Interesting. I hadn’t heard of this.
That may be isolating the cheap chinese consumer electronic with god knows which bugs and spying tech from the rest of the network.
As in blocking or restricting their communication with the rest of the lan in the router’s firewall, for example? Or, perhaps, putting them behind their own dedicated firewall (this is probably superfluous to the firewall in the router though).
But you might also be able to use a conventional firewall (or a VPN) to restrict access to that software to trusted users only
For clarity’s sake, would you be able to provide an example of how this could be implemented? It’s not immediately clear to me exactly what you are referring to when combining “user” with network related topics.
