I have a Dahua NVR and a few Dhua cameras connected to the NVR.
I want to prevent internet access from the NVR, with minimum investment (there are too many devices connected to the same socket, don't want to add more).
I thought about using a raspberry Pi (which I already have running):
1. The NVR will be connected to the lan port of a raspberry pi 3 (which have supports both wired and wireless connection).
2. The raspberry pi will also be connected to the router using WIFI.
3. Using IP tables define rules to drop packets from the lan port to the internet (not sure yet how, but guessing this is possible).
Did someone try such approach (or tell me if I should avoid it)?
Plan B:
I have an old router which not in use and supports openWRT, I can use and configure VLANS (but rather not, to avoid connecting another device to the same electrical socket, which have 7 devices connected to it).
