Right .. that makes sense, it's just linear, without objects/groups etc. I actually noticed that latency can be an issue, especially with more devices (I have a bunch of that smart-home stuff, and some robotics hobbies. If you can keep them contained to their own subnet, latency seems to be better, but one will run into issues (like you mentioned.) I hope that RV320 does better there, we'll see.
Nice, I like that... looking forward for it to arriveThe RV320 is much faster with less lag.
I don't open my remote port for anybody. You will need to research that. There have been so many router hacks I am not sure what has been effected.
Is tehre a place that shows examples for Cisco firewall access rules? I think I am a little too iptables minded.
Your phone has a local IP address so it should be allowed to access 192.168.2.0.
You can do things like only allow access to the first 4 or 6 IP addresses in network 192.168.2.0 and exclude all the rest by changing the mask. It just depends on what you want to do.
ACLs are the best and easiest compared to iptables.
Then I would think your smart devices are registering outside the firewall. There is no way your phone is coming in from the outside. You need to add a block to your smart devices going out.
deny source 192.168.2.0/24 destination 0.0.0.0
Network blocks are faster than individual IP addresses.
You may have to rethink your rules. It is all a learning process. Maybe they need outside access.
Oh I am playing with this a bit, I don't think they 'need' access really, but for some reason contact the manufacturers site frequently. Not necessarily an issue, I just don't want to give access to get hacked into.
