I agree that we ‘mostly’ agree on all of this and I have really enjoyed this discussion.
When I say the bad actors are really not after MY network, I mean they are not trying to get ‘inside’ my network.
The botnet actors are looking for many vulnerable routers. Not the services I am running inside. Because they are easier. Again, what keeps ‘honest’ people honest is the easiest attack.
I think this was a great discussion and would have brought a BUNCH of smart people in if it was not for your BatShitCrazy attack on the Open Home Foundation in this thread:
Way to request new ZHA device handlers without involving Microsoft - Feature Requests - Home Assistant Community
I am not saying I disagree with SOME of what you said. But that thread was a complete turn off and probably got you blocked by many smart folks that are active here.
Your craziness in that thread most certainly limited the interaction in this one.
Thank you for your questions here and all of the insights along with the links provided!
