i was setting up postmaster on Linux Mint, and i saw that a lot of UDP requests were blocked from one local IP address. I found out the IP belonged to my parents Samsung smart TV. i loaded up wireshark and found out it is sending UDP requests with different port numbers per request. any ideas what is going on, and how i can stop it.

Disconnect it. But seriously, see if the router can block the requests.
True, Smart TVs are basically spying devices.
It’s rather frustrating I can’t just buy a dumb tv. The smart bit about a tv is going to be obsolete a decade before the screen anyways. How much effort is plugging in a Chromecast or something?
