How to block access from internet?

Model: Tapo C425 KIT  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.23

Hello

I want to block access to my c425 webcam from the internet. I only want to be able to use the tapo app when im connected to the same lan as my c425 webcam. I've already tried a few things and created various firewall rules on my firewall. Unfortunately, to no avail. Tapo support couldn't help me either. They said I should block traffic on *.tplinknbu.com. If I do this, however, I can no longer access the camera from the LAN using the tapo app and the camera appears offline.

 

I've seen that some of you have blocked streaming via rtsp. How did you solve this on your firewall?

 

Many thanks for your help.

 

Manuel

Why not directly disable this device's Internet access on the router? This should be a basic feature supported by most routers and doesn't require complex settings like configuring the firewall or blocking specific server URLs.

Hello Wyne

Thank you for your answer. It seems to be more complex than expected. I seems to be pretty complicating how all the connections to tapo cloud services are working and if I iniciate a connection via tapo app from my lan the firewall establishes the connection because all connections are allowed from LAN to WAN by default and this connection can then be used to access the camer also from the internet.

 

I don't get the point.

Does your router not have a feature to directly disable the internet access of a specific client device? You may contact the router support to double-check it.
