There are a lot of version of this walkthrough out there on KZitem, but (for me at least) this is the only one that took the appropriate time and amount of hand-holding that I need to not just implement the FW rules, but also to help me understand the WHY. That is huge! Thanks a ton!

I watched several videos and this is the one where things started clicking. I loved the format of showing the vulnerability, applying the fix and confirming vulnerability is negated along with clear and concise explanations during the process. I also like that the gateways were isolated. Before this video, I was struggling to figure out why I could ping my gateway addresses even though my networks were isolated and now I know. This is the first ever super thanks I have given. It’s well deserved. I’ll be adding one to the follow up video on configuring VLANs on Unifi switches. Many things clicked in that video also.

I am finally considering a Unifi setup now that their OS is more well-baked, and you had the most recent Unifi OS VLAN video, so I decided to stop by and see how things have improved over the last few years. However, I must say that this video is probably one for the best for anyone new to VLANs in general, not just VLANs on Unifi. You, sir, are the only one that “teaches one how to fish instead of just giving one a fish” by explaining the logic behind firewall rules, thus giving one the ability to not just copy your foundational firewall rules (which were spot on as the bare minimum starting point), but also gain the confidence to start coming up with their own firewall rules unique to their situation. Looking forward to joining you on this journey to learn from each other!

This video is great. I've been looking into unify for a while now, but my biggest reservations about diving into it has been VLANs. I'm pretty familiar with vlans as I do IT at a large resort and everything we connect to a network has a different VLAN. Everyone says unify can do VLANs, but they don't elaborate further and I want something robust enough for firewall rules like the ones you demonstrated. My biggest concern was that unify either would not allow firewall rules, or they would be very limited. This video demonstrates the capabilities well and has shown this is exactly what I'm looking for. I plan to start ordering my components over the next couple of weeks and setting everything up and I could not be more excited.

I am so pleased to hear that my video helped you out. I can't thank you enough for that. As for your questions, just to be clear, the firewall rules only apply when one VLAN is talking to another one. This is called Inter-VLAN communication. If IOT devices are talking to each other, they would most likely be in the same IOT VLAN and would not be affected by the firewall rules. Unless I am not understanding what you are asking here...
@brianhampton9138

Well I don't know if I'm asking it right myself...I just assume that when you enter the firewall rule to Block all private IPs for the Iot vlan that that would prevent anything on the IOT from talking to anything but the internet including other Iot devices on the same vlan@@ethernetblueprint

Great tutorial! I have recently setup two additional VLANs (Family and IOT). I did this because I liked your "kids" network in your prior video. I have not set any rules yet, just been busy getting devices on the correct VLAN/Wifi. Will be playing with firewall rules soon. My question is... The first thing that came to mind when you were creating rules, especially the port rules, was what are the chances that one mistake could potentially lock you out of the gateway from ALL networks. It just made me think I should be VERY careful!

I think you were on 7.x in that tutorial. Glad to see this updated tutorial, on 8.0.26! I saw you had a Guest firewall rule for "Allow DNS Packets to External Name Servers". It would be great to see a tutorial on this topic. I am looking to block all DNS (Port 53) queries out (on my various vLans), unless they come from my DNS (PiHole or other DNS like ControlD or NextDNS) server, if someone on my network tries to change their DNS, my goal is that they will not connect to another DNS server and their Name Resolution will fail. It would be good to see options, but wanted to share an idea (I'm sure you have considered this topic too! Great Job! Thanks!

You will most likely have to do that with Firewall rules on a standard VLAN and not by clicking the guest portal policy checkbox...

Could I use a shared key for default, IOT, Wife's Wifi and use the Guest 99 network with the standard isolation with it's own password? I am going to check out your VLAN video. Maybe I can come up with other ideas. Also, one of the things that gets frustrating is when videos are not updated when there is a noticeable OS change. I look forward to you continuing to do so.

If I understand correctly, you are asking if you can setup muliple password (Private Pre-shared keys) for the default, IOT and Wife (all connecting to the same SSID) and then setup a separate WiFi name for guest and still make all this work in the Firewall... If so, the answer is yes. The firewall rules are based on the VLANs, not how the WiFi networks are setup. You could create a shared SSID for all of your "main" networks and then create a Guest VLAN and choose the isolation check box... Then create a separate Guest SSID for that network. As a matter of fact, I think that is a better way to do that anyways. It is nice for the guests to be able to connect to a separate SSID so they know they are on the guest network...

Printing depends on a couple factors, but there are a couple of things you can try... However, I will warn you that not all printers play well with VLANs though... 1) make sure mDNS is enabled and is allowing the VLANs that need to talk to each other. Some printers use this to communicate with their devices 2) I would edit your rule and try the following... put the printer IP in an IP group by itself... then try the rule 'LAN Local, Accept, Source =Guest, Destination Port/IP Group and choose your printer... don't add the new, established... just leave that out... Also make sure that your new printer rule is above the 'Drop all private IP' rules that you created earlier... They run in order and you don't want that the traffic blocked before it hits your rule.

Really useful tutorial. I'm new to Unifi and I'm sure I'll be configuring, resetting and reconfiguring things for awhile. I am updating my little home network mainly because my WAP is EoL and hasn't had an update in 2 years. I have been using an ERL for several years, which is a great little router, but I am using the WAP as an excuse to build an easier to manage network . I guess it's like Apple once you get into the Unifi ecosystem you're better off staying there. I bought an UDR and Lite 16 port switch to replace my existing switch, AP and router. I have the UDR and switch kinda hanging off my current setup so I can practice with it and not worry about getting my "users" upset. I plan on eventually adding APs to connect a shop and would be interested in ways to connect between buildings. The VLAN stuff is very timely. I have stayed away from IoT devices because of security concerns. I'm hoping to get a good understanding how to control and secure things both internal and external. What I would like to see is a tutorial on best practices for setting up and securing the Ubiquiti VPN. I also would like to add a NAS to do my own cloud storage as well as local file, media and backup. Thinking about why, where and how to put a NAS on the network while being able to restrict access based on who and where the access is coming from all turns into a confusing mess quick. Keep up the tutorials. I'm looking forward learning more. 👍

Thank you for tuning in. I think you will like the Unifi echosystem once you get used to it. But don't get me wrong, it definately has its painful moments. I haven't gone too deep into the VPN realm yet, but full intend on doing some videos on that. I know it is a hot topic. Unifi has been making some changes in that area as well. As far as a NAS goes, it really depends on what needs the most access. For me, my default network uses the NAS the most, so that is where I put it. I don't really have a need in my home to have any external devices talk to it so it works well for me there. But that is me. Hope your new direction goes well!

Also, as far as connecting to your shop, check out my Nanobeam point to point video. I plan on doing an update to that since that was made specifically for my brother in law, but that may push you in the right direction. Look at the Nanobeam 5AC from Ubiquiti for creating a wireless bridge to your outbuilding. They work awesome...

Absolutely incredible video! I have a question on how you set up your pinters specifically. I read that putting them on their own VLAN is the way to go, and someone who is learning I would love to try and do that but I was having issues getting it to communicate with my other devices on my other VLANS. Do you have any recommendations on firewall rules or should I just throw it on the IOT VLAN?
@ethernetblueprint

Follow up question, with the rules I put in that video, if you did have them in the IOT VLAN, are you able to communicate with them from the main VLANs?

I just discovered your channel and have been watching all your UniFi related videos. This is one of your best! Thank you for taking the time to make all of them. Possibly stupid question...do these firewall rules with respect to the IoT network interfere with my ability to control those devices remotely from my smartphone? I know that the default network can communicate with the IoT network, but my phone would not be on the default network if I am away. So for example, would I be able to use Apple Home to remotely lock my front door while I am on vacation, or adjust the thermostat, etc.? Or would the firewall rules prevent that?
@ethernetblueprint

Glad I’ve been able to help. To answer your question about HomeKit, yes you can still control things when you’re away from home even if the devices are on the IOT network. I don’t have a ton of experience with this yet, but I’m in the process of setting up Home Assistant with Apple HomeKit and will have to do more testing. So far I have Phillips Hue lights hub on my IOT network running in HomeKit and it works great remotely using these exact firewall rules. More to come though.

PPSK is really cool, but only supports WPA2, so no 6ghz networks, which is a huge bummer. I'm guessing for your home network, other video shots 6ghz, you're just using multiple SSIDs instead? great video, thanks.

I assume that 6Ghz is coming. When I did this video originally, I didn't have my U7 Pro yet, so I honestly didn't know about that. In this case, I did this, just to show viewers that it could be done. My home network has multiple SSIDs and that is how I typically set up my networks.

Very good explanation. It also nice to have a video with the last versions of Unifi console & network application. Overall explanations is very good & your testing labs is good example as a starting point. To be more specific with UniFi, I believe that you should have address how to setup Unifi PoE+ camera on a specific VLAN for videosurveillance as many unify customer will have Unifi Protect and Unifi cameras. In this case would you keep the Protect UNVR in the default or in the speficic cameras VLAN ?

Thanks, great video. Question, most network engineers suggest best practice is to have the default network as a “management” VLAN and create a new VLAN for your main/corporate/internal network. You haven’t done that in this case, just wondered what your thoughts are on separating management from main networks.
@ethernetblueprint
7 ай бұрын
I agree with you whole heartedly when it comes to a small business network and that is how I typically set those up. As a matter of fact, that is how my home network is setup. All of my equipment is on the default and my home devices are on a homeVLAN. However, from a typical home network perspective, I don't know that it is 100% necessary if you have the VLAN locked down. Either way, it is a great call out!

Thanks so much for a great video. I have tried for a while but now I finally have got my VLANs to work. I even used my knowledge from the video to figure out how to get all my Denon/HEOS stuff to work on the IoT! Much obliged! Just two small question if you don’t mind though. Should I not block access to the gateway from the guest network? I have tried to understand the rules ubiquity has given me but I don’t seem to find that? Next a more general question. In the firewall rules from ubiquity there are 4 “accept” at the end. What good are they if no “drop” after them? Maybe I have misunderstood something?
@ethernetblueprint
3 ай бұрын
I would make sure you block access to the gateway from your guest network.. (either with your own rules or the built in ones) If you hit the guest checkbox for that VLAN and let it do it for you, I believe it will block access to the gateway for you without you putting in any FW rules. It isolates that network and only allows guest to get the internet. Hope that helps!

Nice walk through. Still following it and slowly setting things up but it is helping a lot. My only so far is I have the Cloud Gateway Ultra and in it the options are Guest Network and Isolate Network compared to your "Isolation" when setting up the guest vlan. Do I check both of these or just guest or just isolation ?
@ethernetblueprint
5 ай бұрын
Unifi loves to change their own wording... For a guest network you can check either one... but you don't need to check both. If you check the Guest Network box, you will be able to setup a guest Portal page for your guests to use in the Hotspot manager... If you check Isolate Network box, then it will just lock it down and not give any additional guest portal features... Hope that makes sense!
@freelance-darkspear1495

@@ethernetblueprint Ha ha, thanks for the reply. I did end up checking both at the time I think. Another new thing ive recently discovered is that when it comes to vLan if your using a switch other than a ubiquiti one there is no way to have some devices on vlan 1 and others on vlan 2 as they are all tagged on the vlan set in the port for untagged traffic. Which is mildly annoying as I then need to pick up more of their kit, just to put something on a particular vlan instead of getting it and building in time. Unless.... you happen to know of a way ? :D

I actually need to test this a little more. I have a lot of people ask me this question and to be honest, this is the way I have always done it and have never just blocked the gateway. I will have to test and get back to the group!

How are you putting things like apple tv, Roku etc on a separate vlan? I want to make an AV vlan for apple tvs, our smart tv, xbox and other things. If you could help that would be great.. Also I love your video. It helps a lot for network dummies like me. It was very easy to follow.. One suggestion for you, please include kids network in your future videos like you did in your previous video. It really helped..
@ethernetblueprint

Thanks for the reply... Let me dive into this a little bit for you. Once the VLAN is created, there are two ways you can get your devices to use it. 1) Create a new IOT Wifi network (or IOT Passphrase like I talk about in this video), and connect those devices to that WiFi network... or 2) if they are hardlined, you would need to click on that port in the switchport settings and click the dropdown for Native VLAN / Network in the port settings. You should see the IOT Vlan listed in that list. They should pull an IP address from the IOT Vlan and follow the rules you setup. As far as your suggestion goes for a kids network, I have some videos coming down the pipe that covers this very subject. Thanks for watching!

Hi. Great video but one part confuses me one bit. At the 33:42 mark you add the 192.168.3.1 adress which I dont really know what it corresponds to. Was the 192.168.99.1 intended as the Guest VLAN Gateway? Other than that u made my configuration process a lot easier. Thank You.

Holy crap that is a lot of steps to accomplish a goal that is so commonly held by virtually all users of this network gear. Is it worth it when you could just make an IOT guest network where the devices can ONLY communicate with the internet and nothing else? Not many IOT devices can communicate without the cloud anyways, right?
@ethernetblueprint
6 ай бұрын
The FW Rule aspect of this is optional. You do have the option to just mark the "Isolate Network" checkbox when creating the network which would allow it to communicate to the internet, but not to other VLANs. The FW Rule portion is more for environments where IOT devices need to be able to have a 1:1 communication with other parts of your network. (ie. smart cameras talking to a NAS for example)
