Best way to hide HDHomerun devices on the LAN?

This wouldn't be necessary if there was a password necessary to access their UI, but all you need is their IP and your in.

Is anyone hiding them from other LAN users? If so, how?

Thanks.

What are you concerned people might do? Do you have untrustworthy people on your network?

You could run your own dns and break the my.hdhomerun.com domain.

Alternatively, you could separate the users/devices you are concerned about into a separate vlan/subnet, or otherwise restrict their access to devices with a decent set of firewall rules.

But if you don't trust people on your network, then why on Earth are you granting them access to your network in the first place? That's like asking how to keep someone out of certain rooms in your house after you've already let them in the front door.

I figured it would go this way.

It's not a trust issue and honestly if my curious kids can figure out how to do LAN scans and hit the HDHR UI it's nothing major.

Thanks.

You should be proud of their ingenuity!
