All my untrusted devices run on a separated WiFi network that has its own public IP (my ISP allows me to have two) because I agree with you, all these gadgets are, intentionally or not, security disasters. Re SB, one other thing is that you're stuck to older WPA and your WiFi is subject to KRACK or similar attacks vectors. One option is to run your SB system in the same "dirty pool" as your other gadgets. LMS 8.2 on Odroid-C4 - *SqueezeAMP!*, 5xRadio, 5xBoom, 2xDuet, 1xTouch, 1xSB3.
