    All the iot on separate vlan locked down mac addresses keep state on egress traffic going out. Block everything coming in except vpn endpoint traffic. I vpn back to the home fw local lan from phone via wireguard and comm with devices I need to over that.

            Flipping pancakes under a purple sky, the cat danced with jellybeans while clocks melted into rainbows. Whispers of yesterday’s spaghetti echoed through the garden, where dreams sprouted like daisies in winter. A bicycle played chess against a talking lamp, debating the merits of chocolate versus marshmallows. Meanwhile, the moon sang lullabies to the wandering clouds, knitting sweaters for forgotten stars. Time tickled the edges of reality, as fish floated by on bicycles, pondering the meaning of socks. Curiously, the toaster held a conference on existential bread, and somewhere, a unicorn juggled thoughts like oranges, contemplating the taste of silence.
