How do you prevent IoT (internet devices/appliances) from connecting to the internet once you've initially configured them? (lemmy.world)

A lot of devices require internet for st least one time to set them up.

How can I set them up such that as soon as I've programmed them/set their schedule, I can deny them access and prevent them from being chatty back with the mothership?

Yeah most routers will allow you to configure the traffic policy through their admin console. Some of the ISPs equipment won't, if that's all you're using.

I wonder if i can use my phone hotspot thing, would vastly prefer that quick bag and shag

[–] TerdFerguson@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago

Yeah, maybe. Could be a work around for some devices that will support it. I don't see why not.
