An investigation by Gamers Nexus found LG smart TVs sweep local networks to map phones and nearby devices. Tests also showed the sets can capture microphone audio with the screen off — they then upload data once reconnected to the internet.

Seriously, this is the way. I did this too in about 15 mins. Also setup a simple rule to allow the vlan to reach my homeserver in a separate vlan specifically on Plex and Jellyfin ports. That’s it. They cant phone home. You still enjoy your own media.
I’ve recently tried setting up VLANs on my network, but I’m very new to this type of networking. I’ve got a bunch of guides and videos bookmarked, but I haven’t successfully got things working yet. Would you happen to have any good resources for a beginner? I THINK I have all the hardware I’ll need—a Pi5 8GB with OpenWRT installed, a managed gigabit switch, and a router flashed with OpenWRT to act as an access point. And a ton of Ethernet cables. I’ve also got some Lenovo Tinys I could use with… Opnsense? once I’ve got more knowledge and skillz and stuff.
Yeah if you setup the firewall correctly you can access the TV but the TV can’t access anything it self.
