How to Block Outgoing Traffic from local devices? After big DDoS
Model :
Hardware Version :
Firmware Version :
ISP :
Friday, October 21st, it was widely reported that a massive DDoS had been launched and many of the sources of the bad traffic were infected devices such as security cameras, printers, routers, etc. Lots of news stories discuss this massive distributed attack: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/22/business/internet-problems-attack.html
We have a number of cameras and printers on our local 192.168.1.1 network that never need to send traffic outside. I would like to know how to make sure our various devices can never send unwanted IP traffic so that they can't participate in these DDoS attacks or otherwise have their data sent to unwanted locations.
I currently have a TP-LINK TL-R600VPN but would be willing to change routers.
I tried and failed to understand whether this device has a proper firewall feature.
Let's say I have a camera assigned a static IP of 192.168.1.180 . I want to disallow this from sending any outbound traffic to the wan.
Can this be done with the TL-R600VPN or is there another TP-LINK router that would have that feature?
Thanks for any help,
e
