Smart TV - firewall so it can only access google store and netflix? - eviltoast

I have a Hisense TV. I was wondering if there’s an easy way to firewall their TV so that it only has access to Google Store and Netflix? Make it so the TV can’t reach anything else?

I don’t currently have any firewall. I have ddwrt as my main router. I can whip up a pihole if needed.

    Never connect a TV to the internet, ever. Amazon already not so secretly controls and monitors my life, so I just keep it in the fam and use a Firestick 4K Max.

    All that connecting a TV to the internet will do is bring you continued disappointment, with rare upsides such as an elusive good firmware update, as most rarely improve something on the TV without fucking something else up or including a huge downside.

    Why do you think they’ve gotten so cheap lately? They are sold at a loss because they rape your data and feed you ads… again just like everything else.

    Most people who do what you want to do have a more complicated setup with a separate SSID for IOT stuff on it’s own isolated VLAN with firewall rules to specific things on the main network such as a Plex/Emby server, ect, if needed.
