I work at SamKnows, AMA (I know nothing)

What firewall rules can I put in place to block whatever telemetry my devices are shipping to you?

Presumably don't enable that feature or don't install the software?

Most likely deployment scenario is that the ISP has installed it in their home router, it's not running in their own device.

Block TCP connections on port 80 and 443 to dcs-global.samknows.com

Thank you. I appreciate the response.

My ISP can do what they want with their equipment but I prefer anything inside my firewall to not phone home.

Likely it isn't within your firewall anyway. Our integrations are typically on the router supplied by your ISP.

Thank god some ISPs allow deploying your own fiber routers both residential and commercial after the ONT.

Any ballpark estimate of the price Cisco paid for SamKnows?

I have been asking around but people in the know are keeping quiet. I'd love to know and will reply to this comment if I find anything out.
