I've been told that I should put my IoT devices on a separate VLAN from everything else, but what other steps can I take to make sure that my devices don't get hacked?

Note: I will be using a dedicated wifi router for my IoT and hooking that up (on it's own VLAN) to a OPNsense firewall server. I'm using a dedicated router for this because 1. I have an extra one and 2. my IoT requires both wifi and ethernet connections. Right now Google is controlling my IoT but I hope to set up my own app for it at some point.

I miss the days when you could just do [email protected] when signing up on a website, but now everyone either outright rejects it as invalid or parses it out.

It was useful because you could see who was selling your email address, but that exposed too many companies and was losing them $$$ so they patched it :(

 

One perk that someone told me about is that you can use your domain to get around not having a static IP (because the DNS will compensate).

If I were to get a Cloudflare domain name then what would be some other pros and cons?
