FYI there is https://github.com/Hypfer/Valetudo which acts as a replacement of the cloud service. I'd you buy one of the supported devices you root it to point to the Valetudo server (which you run yourselves). You can then put the robot on its own WiFi without Internet access if you want to be even more secure.

Thanks for the tip.

But I am just a user and this is just a vacuum. I rather focus on other than jumping hoops for the products of the indecent manufactureres. While saving a lot of money as bonus. I think I will cope without it.

no need to root it if you have a decent "router" stack. fortigates can re-route even hard-coded IPs to internal services ;-)

i am sure others can too, i just know we had to use the fortigate to fix a hard-coded IP that was breaking something. i think it was a fog device, even.

Do you know if this works with any vacuums? I would assume they used https and would notice that man-in-the-middle attack.

I am not an expert network engineer so i asked the one that manages the fortigate:

> it'll work for whatever ports or application you want since it's a layer 7 firewall
