I had several IOT smart plugs that have GPS built in. why? why would it need to know its exact geographic location?! after that I created an entire hardware segmented network that’s specifically used for IOT and cameras. last I checked the router/firewall it’s on has blocked over 11million requests a month trying to access the outside. I will never have a “smart” device in my home that’s connected to the internet. I’ll live like it’s the 1930s if I ever have to.

I’ve done the same but that request number is BS. Of course it keeps retrying cause it couldn’t get an answer. It does not mean if it could connect it would connect 21 million times.
