I wish something like this could run at the router level. I am certain my low-end IoT devices are sending out data I don't know about.


You want to see a warning every time a host in your home network tries to connect to the Internet?


A proper config could easily fix that. Either whitelist certain devices for unrestricted access. Or blacklist devices to have to obey the config parameters. And then parameters for which ports and destinations things should be allowed access to on a per device level...

Which is literally describing a firewall/iptables once you drop the "established" incoming rule and block outgoing.

Basically, "I want a router iptables configurator with notifications"


You only have to see the connection to a server once if you mark it approved forever.
