    I have an LG washer and dryer on my IoT VLAN and funneled through a pi hole. I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how quiet and well behaved they are on my network. Hardly ever phone home and only connect to one or two domains. Something is seriously wrong with his dudes washer.

      The most noisy devices on my network are my smart TVs. The last time I bothered to look, it wasn’t even close to comparable.

      My phone is my most used device. It had something in the ballpark of 800 blocked requests in a day, after an entire day of doomscrolling and heavy use. It was the third most blocked device on my network, behind both of my smart TVs. The “better” TV had ~2400 blocked requests in that same day. The worse one had nearly 3000.

      I hadn’t even used my TVs that day.

        some software keeps resending requests when they don’t go through, so if you didn’t block them, the number could’ve been much, much lower.

        of course it’s stupid and fuck that, but still.
