Comment on Can you please tell me all about your DIY router?
nymnympseudonym@piefed.social 2 weeks ago Guest Network in OpenWRT prevents inter-device communication on the LAN. So the thing can talk to its cloud service or whatever but can’t see my phone/laptop/PCs.
This means that untrusted devices which get pw0ned (or are surveillance-by-design) can’t then get into your more important machines. Most people use guest networks for IoT devices like Ring cams and smart washing machines but I don’t even own shit like that.
Lol I also passed up on ring cameras, i’d like to have a camera someday but I don’t want to go through Amazon.
I wonder if I should set up a guest network for my mother-in-law. 🤔 My husband is very on-board with my privacy-focused desires and cautious about what we invite into the home but my MIL, well, is old.
