Samsung Smart TV

[OskarKE]

Hey, 

i recently bought a Samsung Smart TV and i would like to block the TV from talking to Samsungs Servers. I still would like to use the in LAN features like the Remote App.
Does anyone know which Ports/URL/IP i have to block there?

Thanks!!

You might be able to find the ip the TV's talking to by looking in your router logs?

Sadly i have a very shitty home Router from Huawei, which lacks all those "proffesional grade" features. The only thing i can think of is using Wire Shark.

Why not just block the IP of the TV from talking to the internet at the WAN port?

Set static IP on the TV and don't specify a default gateway.  That will prevent it speaking outside of it's subnet and will stop it going outbound to the internet.

 

If it doesn't allow you to specify a static IP without a gateway, use 0.0.0.0 in the gateway option and do not set a DNS value.
