So, I’m tired of all these companies having access to my information and data. I’m also trying to limit security concerns from hackers and general lowlifes. Is this possible? Is there anyone who teaches or guides on this (preferably on YouTube as im a bit of a visual learner).
Setting up with only local Integrations is the way forward. Then VLANs can help with the rest.
VLANs are not the only answer. If your smart hub on its private IoT VLAN becomes a bot farm victim and consumes all your ISP bandwidth and/or gets your IP blacklisted you’re still hooped.
Defense in depth is key, VLANs help, but also specific firewall rules, keep up patching, smart password and MFA practices, etc.
