    Unsure best direction for better logging and securing IoT devices

    I'm into IoT and home automation, but I'm embarrassed to admit I've rather ignored the security aspects of my home network so far. I'd be really grateful for some guidance on the best direction to address this, especially if anyone thinks I might be wasting my time looking into building a NG...

    For the millionth time, vlan/separating IoT setup

    Hi there, so I’m sorry to be the one to ask the same question over again. Unfortunately, I am a little confused in regard to vlans. Basically, I have a PC, NAS and Nvidia Shield Tv that I would like to be on one network. Separate from this I would like to have the, more or less, unsecure...

    different wireless mode for main/guest

    I was wondering if I can downgrade a guest network to Legacy while keeping N for main wifi. Why would I be interested in such a setup: I got LIFX bulbs that need legacy settings to not loose connectivity… Any ideas … thanks

    DHCP fixed IP on IoT devices as additional security measurement

    I have isolated all my IoT devices on a separate wired guest network and on a separate wireless guest network. DHCP is turned on for those guest networks. Does it make sense to now, as an additional security measurement, log in to each IoT device and make its IP static and to set to the IP it...

    [Review] - GL.iNet AR300M Travel Router/IOT Hub

    Place marker for now - as I have some open questions to the OEM... It's a neat little device as a travel router, IOT hub, and developer box - QC-Atheros based and fully supported by OpenWRT. While it's only an N300/WiFi (4) device, the software support makes it worthwhile - and the hardware...

    Best way to isolate IoT?

    Hi all, Been lurking for a while and finally created an account to ask this question, which has probably been asked and answered but I haven't really found anything specific to my situation while searching around. In a general sense, I'm wondering what is the best way to isolate all my IoT...

    Uploading IOT data via scripts

    A thermostat device returns JSON like data from the command line: curl -s http://192.168.X.Y/tstat/humidity {"humidity":51.00} A cron job wass configured to execute a .sh UNIX script to save data to a USB memory stick. The next step in the pedagogical exercise is to upload data to a...

    Building Home Network, help with segmentation

    This is my first network I've created from the ground up. Cat6 wired in each room with a tech closet. The gateway is a fiber 1 Gbt service. The Netgear switches are L2+, L3. The Qnap NAS has the ability to segment the cameras and Iot devices. A handful of IoT devices require an internet...

    Control LAN Access via iptables

    Is it possible to control LAN access via iptables? I have a bunch of IOT devices that I want to access the internet and (and this is the kicker) accept incoming connections from specific hosts inside my LAN, but not create their own connections to hosts in my LAN. It looks like iptables rules...

    How to remotely access IoT device over VPN?

    One of my IoT devices has local access only (its App only connects to the device if they are in the same local network). I was hoping to access it (to read some sensor values) remotely by running a VPN server on my router, but OpenVPN seems to provide a different subnet and the App will still...

    Wifi SSID with routed interface for IoT devices

    I plan on adding a few wifi IoT devices in my house (Sonoff switches) that I'd like to separate from my main LAN and have a different address space and firewall rules for devices in that LAN. I still want DHCP in the LAN (though I can live without it). I'm using RMerlin's build on a RT56U. I...

    Getting vlans to work on an RT-AC88U

    Hardware: RT-AC88U Firmware: 382.1_beta3 After expending a whole lot of effort, I thought I might be able to block wired IoT smart devices at the port level from being able to access the local network. After reading 24 threads on this website, I cobbled together a script that was similar to...

    IoT - how to wall off devices while keeping them usable

    Quick background - not a newb but definitely no packet networking pro. I have advanced knowledge in TDM circuit switching which is dying a quick death and I adapt quickly to new tech when I'm thrown in the fire so to speak. I've been teaching myself packet switching/routing as I can, and have a...
