But that puts a "good" server on the same network as all of those IoT devices. Shouldn't we want the fridge and the thermostat and so on to not even be able to see a computer we want to protect?
Certainly not.
I have an intelligent fridge, for sure I want to talk to it from home and maybe from outside too.
What good is an intelligent toaster if I can not see when the toast is ready from my android phone or my computer? I might buy instead a toaster.
For the avoidance of doubt, I'm not interested in allowing smart fridges and suchlike in my house. I expressly have no wish to observe or control anything from a phone or tablet. And absolutely, definitely no inbound connections from devices outside the home network. Your approach is obviously different, Carlos, but please don't confuse people answering my thread. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
