Durr, I totally forgot about that. Stupid w10!

Nothing wrong with W10 if you know how to use it and not let it use you.

I've found it to not be worth the effort...believe me, I tried.

Re: Computer Network Question

That's kinda what my setup is like..

I have one network that runs a Public WiFi mesh...

Another network runs a Surveillance system with 35 IP/Network cameras for my work...

A third network is just a testing network where I can place new devices and configure them for deployment in the other 2 networks..

EDIT: I should add only one of those networks (the Public WiFi Mesh) has Internet access... The other 2 are strictly Local..

Ask yourself WHY you have this isolation in place. Then, look at your proposed action and see how that relates.

In my case, the isolation provides protection -- the "private" internet is never exposed to "foreign threats". And, no mechanism by which data can leave that domain.

If you bridge those domains with a single host (your three i/f workstation), then there exists the possibility that an adversary can compromise that host from a "public" network and, once there, have a beachhead to attack your "private" network.

The downside of my isolation is a lack of convenience -- I can't sit in my office and do research, download updates, browse the web, etc. But, the short walk (a few steps) to this machine is a minor hassle...
