I usually don't wear the tin foil hat but THIS is actually a valid concern. By allowing the EPT access to your home network it could in theory sniff the WiFi network for unsecured data, let's say passwords on websites not using https. It could try to hack passwords for your storage devices at home. Your before secure home network now became basically a public network and we all know we don't share sensitive personal data on unsecure public networks, like hotels do we??
I've set up a guest WiFi network at home, complete separate from my own, private one, that the EPT connects to.
Emirates, understandably, does not allow us to connect uncontrolled devices to their corporate network. Why should we allow them to connect to ours?
