I should have added that your firewall on your router is NOT a
replacement for having firewalls on your individual computers. I have
home automation along with a number of cameras. I don't use the cloud to
handle my cameras (Foscams) although I could. I use ZoneMinder on one
of my systems and it controls the cameras. I have firewalls on all of
my systems as well as the router's firewall. Thus, even if the router is
compromised, my systems are still safe due to their own firewalls.
Belts and suspenders, you know.

Yes, I agree,use as much protection as is available.
I assume the combination of the dd-wrt firewall and Fedora's firewalld
are providing adequate protection? I have not had any problems of which
I am aware. :-\
I think I have developed enough confidence to run one of these cameras
on their cloud system and see what kind of usage numbers my router logs.
Usage is limited and always a concern for me. We are in a rural area and
the cable company refuses to provide service, we are about a half mile
from the end of their line and even then I would wonder if they could
match Viasat's reliability.
