I have a jailbroken K4.

I can only ssh in over wifi if the local machine is on my 2.4ghz network same as my kindle (remote host machine).

If my local machine is on my 5g network (most of them are) I cannot ssh in over wifi.

I assume this is because, in order to stop the "kindle not authorized as a test Kindle", I've blocked the kindle from internet access in my router settings.

Can I please ask:

(1) Is that right? Does blocking network access block "crossover" of ssh between 5g and 2.4g networks?

(2) Is there anything other than BBB (which doesn't do anything to stop the "not authorized as a test Kindle" issue) that can be used to stop my K4 phoning home?
How do you have your LAN configured? Are your 2.4g and 5g network IP addresses in different sub-networks? If so, perhaps you could solve your problem by modifying your LAN addressing. I have mine configured using the 172.16.xxx.xxx private range and serve addresses in the 172.16.1.xxx to my own WiFi connected devices, 172.16.0.xxx to visitors and 172.16.80.xxx to my hardwired devices. All of these are within the network address space given the 255.255.0.0 netmask and all are reachable.
