This is why people fear the Internet of Things
Between IoT and the deployment of IPv6 (meaning no more automatic NAT firewalling), I feel like we need to take a fresh look at how home routers are designed.<p>I&#x27;d love to see products that provide a user-friendly way to help me audit what my network is doing, and create firewall rules for different classes of devices. For example, if you&#x27;re running a DVR server, the camera mentioned in this article probably shouldn&#x27;t have been granted Internet access.<p>While some routers have basic firewall support, it&#x27;s really rudimentary and nowhere near sufficient when you have several dozen (or more) relatively unknown devices on your network. And definitely not user-friendly enough for most home users.
