WAN access to LAN smart plugs
I recently purchased VRLIFE,Smart Plug smart plugs to use with Google assistant and Google Home. I was suprised that I can control the smart plug when I am outside my home wireless network. How do my smart plug commands travel from the WAN through my router's firewall to my home LAN? I have not opened ports for any traffic to the smart plug private IP addresses. Thank you for any information that you can provide! If I am missing the obvious, I apologize.Solved
