Presumably by bouncing everything through some anonymous Alibaba cloud ip addresses, effectively granting permission to the Chinese government to open your garage door whenever they like... :sigh:
(Actually, it seems like its at least not completely awful, security wise: https://www.mcafee.com/blogs/other-blogs/mcafee-labs/we-be-jammin-bypassing-chamberlain-myq-garage-doors/ https://www.mcafee.com/blogs/other-blogs/mcafee-labs/we-be-j... )

- conductr 5y agoI’m sure if China wants in my garage they can figure out a way with or without this device It’s quite nice though. You can even have Amazon drop their packages inside the garage through some single use token or something. I for one have way too much value of tools and whatnot in my garage to grant that trust but I wish I could.
