KEY DETAILS:
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

Root Router (The "Stem" of the Y)
├── WAN: Connected to Modem/Internet
├── LAN IP: 192.168.0.1 (or any base subnet)
├── DHCP: Can be disabled or only serve the two routers
└── IMPORTANT: No devices should connect directly here (no WiFi)

Secure Router (Left Branch)
├── WAN: Connected to Root Router LAN (gets IP like 192.168.0.2)
├── LAN IP: 192.168.1.1 (Different subnet!)
├── DHCP: Enabled (192.168.1.100-200)
└── Devices: PCs, Laptops, Phones, NAS (Your trusted devices)

IoT/Insecure Router (Right Branch)
├── WAN: Connected to Root Router LAN (gets IP like 192.168.0.3)
├── LAN IP: 192.168.2.1 (Different subnet!)
├── DHCP: Enabled (192.168.2.100-200)
└── Devices: Minecraft server, Smart home devices, Untrusted IoT

ISOLATION MECHANISM:
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

Traffic Flow:
• Secure PC → Secure Router → Root Router → Internet ✓
• IoT Device → IoT Router → Root Router → Internet ✓
• Secure PC → IoT Router → BLOCKED (Different subnet, behind NAT)
• IoT Device → Secure Router → BLOCKED (ARP broadcasts don't cross routers)

Why This Works:
1. Routers block Ethernet broadcasts (ARP cannot traverse)
2. Each network is its own "broadcast domain"
3. Double NAT prevents IP scanning between networks
4. Compromised IoT device cannot use traceroute to find Secure network
(Only sees: IoT Router → Root Router → Internet)

Configuration Checklist:
□ All three routers have different LAN subnets (e.g., 0.x, 1.x, 2.x)
□ Secondary routers connect via WAN ports (not LAN ports)
□ No "Bridge Mode" or "Access Point Mode" on secondary routers
□ Root router ideally has WiFi disabled (or use as guest network only)
□ UPnP disabled on Root Router (prevents IoT from opening ports inward)

simple way to isolate your clawbot that you host at home:

1. buy a glinet gateway
2. plug wan into local network
3. plug clawbot box into lan on glinet gateway
3. on glinet gateway, enable tailscale
4. disable local network access on glinet

via tailscale menu on glinet:
5. enable alternative route to 192.168.8.1
6. on other computer connect to tailscale via tailscale app
7. navigate to ip of the clawbot box via ip (192.168.8.xxx)

even then bots will be on paid relays and their messages on the paid relays will be judged by amount of zaps attached to those events

in a year or less I predict most communication channels will be flooded by LLM generated content and the only way to get through will be a zapped message. all of the free messages will be ignored.

everyone should take the grey pill.

it feels more realistic.
