You can just block any connection from the access points to the internet. They can connect to the controller and that's all the access they get. Access points have no need to connect to or be accessible from the outside world.

Ok. I get that it is best practice to give devices the least amount of access they need. But why does being able to block traffic make it okay that Ubiquity enables telemetry like this, without informed consent?
