I recently picked up a set of tenda MW6 mesh units - I'm running this in "bridged" mode, since that's the only option that turns off their dhcp server. The primary mesh unit connected to a DIY linux router (ubuntu, with firewalld. The full setup is here) - which allows me to run a few more interesting tools to monitor my traffic. The linux router provides DHCP and DNS and has 3 ports bridged together to a single interface, and the primary mesh unit is on one of these ports. I can apparently run tcpdump and pick up traffic going through the mesh units



I'm running the mesh units in bridged mode, if that matters, and the backhaul to the secondaries are over wireless. The tendas are managed through a phone application but its local, with no cloud accounts set up.

I noticed using iftop that the devices talk to 45.113.192.102 - an IP that seems to belong to a chinese search engine called baidu, and tcpdump indicates that all 3 nodes are connecting to the IP over http



01:43:00.987943 IP 192.168.1.99.34783 > 45.113.192.102.http: Flags [F.], seq 1, ack 1, win 913, length 0


is an example of the output of tcpdump at my main router. At this point - though I'm stuck. Is there any way I can check what the traffic is?
