"Legal". The law is truly an ass.

Thankfully security researchers exist to fill the gaps that lawmakers haven't gotten to / won't get to: https://blog.includesecurity.com/2026/06/the-smart-tv-in-you...

These are the specific URLs mentioned:

  proxyjs.brdtnet.com
  proxyjs.luminatinet.com
  proxyjs.bright-sdk.com
  clientsdk.bright-sdk.com
  clientsdk.brdtnet.com

I use these regular expressions to block any connections to the domains or subdomains:

  /(\.|^)brdtnet\.com$/
  /(\.|^)luminatinet\.com$/
  /(\.|^)bright-sdk\.com$/
  /(\.|^)luminati\.io$/

No idea if this actually prevents proxy functionality altogether, but prevents some phoning home if you're infected.
