Issue: Hello Team, good day. we have recently purchased the Industrial Outdoor LoRa Gateway namely the RAK7249. This Gateway is Robust in terms of functionality and has proven its continuous operation on TTN, thumb up RAK team. In addition, we have recently noticed some unwanted LoRaWAN devices are connected to our GW and sending Uplinks causing unnecessary background mobile data usage (GW using mobile backhaul: SIM card with monthly data package), as a security measure can you please advise on the preventive measure to filter out the unwanted LoRaWAN devices?.
Any config that can be done at gateway level or at any other level.
Greetings, sorry for late reply and thanks for your swift response.
Yes after reading the provided thread its clear to me that TTN provides the free backend for the benefits of the community. Unless i opt for the private TTI or the Stack V3 where i can do the packet filtration for the unwanted devices.
i will also test what Hobo suggested and will update this thread accordingly.
Its been a while since the gateway has been switched off mainly due to the extended confinement period here in our island, unfortunately for now i don’t have the stats(apologies for this).
Testing Hobo’s suggestion is testing filtering which, as established, is contra-indicated.
That said, a good compromise may be to allow TTN NetId’s through so you are community, without wasting bandwidth on having the Network Server drop non-TTN uplinks. I shall make enquiries.
