Are there consumer routers (that are relatively easy to use) that can alert you or shut down a device, when all of a sudden your thermostat is making tons of network requests?
- kijin 10y agoThere are routers that can control how much data a given downstream device can transfer in a given time, shut them down entirely during certain times of day, etc. But then I'd guess the crooks will just compromise the router itself.

- catdog 10y agoWe first need consumer routers which are not themselves that device on a regular basis before we can think of detecting misbehavior in other devices.
