In a similar situation, my theory is that I can eventually configure ACLs specifically to accept connections sourced to my IOT static IP assigned devices with an implicit deny all that prevents everything else.

Though, I may be planning this all wrong, since all connections occur after my firewall, I might need to eventually set up ACLs on my smart switch.

My friend, please educate yourself. No change has ever resulted from peaceful action. That’s a narrative to keep you complicit.

That’s what the algo wants you to blame. No one in real life is questioning why places are on fire. I’d argue that looting IS a form of protest.
