&gt; help me audit what my network is doing, and create firewall rules<p>We need be a better solution than this! I already dread having to configure and tweak firewalls every time I add a new device or install a new application.<p>Even with the most user-friendly firewall in the world, we&#x27;ll still end up in a world where 99% of users don&#x27;t do anything and have no security&#x2F;privacy. And the 1% of technical users will end up breaking basic functionality because they blocked something that the manufacturer of the device or app deemed to be an essential connection.<p>Thinking out of the box for a moment: If you install a camera, suppose your router automatically encrypted everything coming out of the camera such that it could only be decrypted on your smartphone, or whatever you&#x27;re using to view the feed from your camera. The encryption, decryption, and keys are completely independent of and outside of the control of camera manufacturer. The encryption is unavoidable; even if they get a secret feed of the video, they cannot decrypt it.<p>Instead of the router, perhaps it&#x27;s the device driver that does the encryption. The point is that this is something automatically done whenever you plug in a camera and which the camera manufacturer cannot subvert. (This idea is for cameras and such. For other kinds of IoT devices, this particular idea may or may not help.)
