Ive been reading up on Amazon Sidewalk which is going to be automatically enabled on all Amazon devices within the next week unless it is manually opted out. This is done via the Amazon Alexa app.
I'm wanting to know if there is anyway that this can be blocked at the router/firewall level instead of relying on the end user to disable it on their device themselves. A quick Google search didn't turn up any results on how to do this.
Not only is there no way for myself or any network admin for that matter to verify that the service has been disabled on the customers device and even if said customer claims they have disabled it there's a chance they didn't do it correctly or at all, essentially putting the security of the entire network at risk.
The security of the network is my job and putting the security of the network in the hands of the end users hands doesn't constitute as safe for me.
Any help or advice on how to disable this service network wide would be much appreciated. Thanks!
