Unblock Client – New Unifi UI (6.1+)
I’ve been meaning to make this quick how-to for quite a while, and finally got around to it. Quick demo of how to block/unblock clients with the new Unifi user interface.

UniFi Dream Machine Firmware 1.9.1
Has it been a week already? It would have been a long week for a lot of folks running the 1.9.0 firmware on their UDM/UDM-Pro. Personally, I’m going to wait another week because of how badly the last release went, but I’m also quite a bit more confident about the stability of this release, so maybe I’ll cut that short.

Ubiquiti has just release the 1.8.3 stable release for the UDM/UDM-Pro UniFi gateways. While this is a milestone for both, it is especially noteworthy for the UDM which has not received a stable release since early 2020. The change list is massive, so it’s probably a release you want to manage manually, with a good backup in hand.

This video discusses how to use the LAN firewall rules on a Ubiquiti UniFi gateway (e.g. USG, USG-Pro, UDM, UDM-Pro); including how to create firewall rules for site-to-site VPN setups.

Ubiquiti released a major Unifi Controller update, moving from the 5.x family to 6.x. There are a lot of changes documented, and surely a lot more that aren’t. Personally, while UI labeled it “stable” I think it’s best to sit it out for a while – and I love playing with shinny new things :).
Read moreCreate a manual IPSec Unifi Site-to-Site VPN
Configuring an IPSec site-to-site VPN between Ubiquiti Unifi gateways (USG/USG-Pro/UDM/UDM-Pro) is relatively straight forward process, but there are couple sticking points that can cause a hang up. This video walks through the setup for a manual VPN, when you can’t use the automatic config.
Read moreSetup freeRADIUS + mySQL + daloRADIUS for dynamic VLAN assignment on Unifi
Using the text based user files in our other freeRADIUS + Unifi = Dynamic VLAN Assignment guide works great for small installations, but in a larger or more fluid environment it’s much easier to use a database backend for the freeRADIUS server. This guide walks through the steps to configure that, and optionally setup a daloRADIUS UI for freeRADIUS. Install […]
Read moreUbiquiti Unifi Define Default VLAN for Dynamic Wireless VLAN Assigned Networks
This video is a follow on to a previous guide around using RADIUS to enable dynamic VLAN assignment to a Unifi wireless network. Here I demonstrate how to change the RADIUS configuration to assign undefined users to a specific VLAN, so they do not end up on the default/untagged network.
Read moreUbiquiti Unifi Dynamic Wireless VLAN Assignment
If you have a USG, or USG-Pro, it is possible to use the built-in RADIUS server to dynamically assign a VLAN to wireless (or wired) clients based on the MAC id. While this works, it doesn’t have much flexibility and is difficult to maintain when the number of connecting devices goes up. This guide resolves that issue using freeRADIUS.

This video walks through the basics of assigning IPs to devices on an Unifi network. It should be exactly the same whether using a UDM/UDM-Pro or USG for the gateway device.
