@mroth911 said in locking down network: so basically I am helping with my church/School , they need to connect to apple/android store. youtube. but social media sites locked down and p2p networks and anything inappropriate for k-12. So OpenDNS is doing the trick for now., However there is no cherry picking, and certain users need the ability to connect to facebook as well. Posting via webpage what is going on in school etc. Thats the situation at hand. They received a letter that someone on the network was downloading from BitTorrent. and it broke digital media anti-piracy law. etc. So they are naturally freaking out. This is something I want to setup and walk away.. I am just doing this to help them. Blocking Bittorrent without an application level firewall isn't that easy. Talking to the tracker happens via DNS, but talking to the other clients normally is just via IP address. You could block all non needed outbound ports - but again, I think Bittorrent can work over port 80 and 443, so not really that helpful.

I upgraded to 1.10.7 2 weeks ago. Pulling the trigger on 1.10.8.

@JaredBusch said in Yealink VoIP Phone Powered by Ubiquiti ER-X PoE: @scottalanmiller said in Yealink VoIP Phone Powered by Ubiquiti ER-X PoE: Anyone tried this combination? Does the power output on the one PoE port of the UBNT ER-X properly power the PoE input on a Yealink phone? We are specifically looking at the T42S. The ERX should work if the power injector that you’re passing through is one design for the phone and not the fixed voltage unifi The ER-X models have warnings in the manual that you need a different power source than the included wall wart if you're going to provide PoE to a device. At that point, just use passthrough from a compatible phone adapter. @JaredBusch already nailed it.

@dbeato said in ubnt CloudKey - refused connection: @bbigford said in ubnt CloudKey - refused connection: option but honestly I just haven't explored it yet for a multi-client setup. I have one Unifi Controller with 70 Customers and they have each their own login and can manage it from their end. This one is not hosted on Vultr but rather in AWS but it is working well. Moving to Vultr though very soon. Yeah, I've worked with a single instance managing 200+ customers. Easy, especially when you can adopt a new AP before taking it on site.

@Mike-Davis said in daisy chain Ubiquiti AC Pros?: @DustinB3403 said in daisy chain Ubiquiti AC Pros?: This is why you don't use pre-made cables. What does it cost to have fiber terminated? $150/hr? Since this is in the mountains, I'm guessing the nearest city is 1.5 hours away, so drive time on top of that. I'm just guessing at the labor since I haven't ever had it quoted. Right, so if oyu are confident that premade will pull in quantiy, then by all means go with it. The good thing about fiber, is that it doesn't matter if you coil up the left over.

Back to basics. Why are you trying to do this? Are you needing to change your WiFi right now? If not, just delete it all and worry about it later. UniFi hardware does not have to check in to a controller to function. Get your other stuff stable, then spin this up.

@jaredbusch said in Ubiquiti ER3 to ER4 Upgrade?: @scottalanmiller said in Ubiquiti ER3 to ER4 Upgrade?: @mroth911 said in ubiquiti Er3 to 4 Upgrade?: Can I just back up my er3 and upload it to the 4 I believe so. I have never tried, but it should handle it because it only bring the /config folder in, and nothing in the hardware of the 3 vs 4 is all that different. To clarify, I have migrated from ERL to ER4 a couple times. But I manually migrate. I don’t try to restore the old config.

@gjacobse said in Help troubleshooting L2TP over IPSEC VPN connections.: jeeze,.. that is a sad state to think that we have nbeen fighting this for that long,... @JaredBusch @scottalanmiller Can a cron be set to restart the ipsec every 24 hours? Yes.

Interestingly if I press download the URL is https://fw-download.ubnt.com/data/unifi-controller/242f-debian-v5.8.28_2batag-5.8.28-11052-5cedfbea2cca434a82f19db77124e9c6.deb

It turns out that the outlet that I had the switched plugged into via a powerstrip had one always on outlet and the other was switched. So whenever they would leave they would turn off the lamp connected to the switched outlet...and their network switch. Good times. I moved some things around and the switch is now on a UPS and off that switched outlet.

There is also an "I can't even thread" that is updated regularly. Maybe it is time to add that as its own category.

@ccwtech said in Unifi 5.7 on Ubuntu 18.04: Scott, why did you go with Ubuntu vs. Fedora? (Asking for a friend) Because it's the official OS of the product. Absolutely no reason to use Fedora here. Unifi only supports Ubuntu and Debian, and Jared and I have opposite views here. Ubuntu is the business product of the Debian family, Debian is the hobby project that is used as the basis for it. Debian is great, I love the project and they do great work, but it doesn't have primary vendor support, you are at the mercy of a hobby project. Ubuntu uses that basis and turns it into a production ready release with vendor and market support options. Ubuntu isn't Fedora, but it's still extremely good.

@penguinwrangler said in Connect Ubiquiti APs to a New Controller: @jaredbusch said in Connect Ubiquiti APs to a New Controller: @penguinwrangler said in Connect Ubiquiti APs to a New Controller: @jaredbusch said in Connect Ubiquiti APs to a New Controller: Controlled migrations have lots of tools and options. But a downed controller has pretty much no option except to default the APs and readopt. You will not even be able to SSH into the APs if you cannot log into the controller and get the device admin password for the site. @JaredBusch is right. If you lost the controller it is a reset process. I recently went through something similar, however, it was the fact that our ISP at a location I manage decided to change out there cable modem and in doing so changed them from a static IP to a dynamic IP. Which is fine and easier for me but they didn't tell the client that they might have to reconfigure their equipment and didn't even bother to make sure they had internet. Switch cable modem and left. Client calls me and I get there and well the Ubiquiti Secure Gateway wasn't working because it was set to use a static IP on the WAN side. I was mad. So I had to reset the Ubiquiti Secure Gateway. Now here is the kicker, it would show up in my controller once I set the inform address but for some reason at least on the smaller USG's is that you had to ssh into them and set the inform address. Click on adopt in the controller and then while it says adopting in the controller run the inform command in ssh again. If you didn't do that it would be adopted but say disconnected. It was a long night until I found those instructions. Grrrr. I hate the USG. Such a piece of crap. I know, I wasn't the one that put it in, it is this one: https://www.ubnt.com/unifi-routing/usg/ They have the newer USG that are bigger. Are those any better? https://www.ubnt.com/unifi-routing/unifi-security-gateway-pro-4/ https://unifi-xg.ubnt.com/usg-xg-8 It is better hardware under the hood, but it is still UniFi. UniFi is shit on a router.

I updated all the sites that could be rebooted mid work day already. The rest will happen this evening.

@bbigford said in Does any one have a EdgeRouter 4 online and can test L2TP: Any insight on maybe why that worked? I've had issues with the default group on another manufacturer, but I wouldn't think 14 was default. It worked prior to changing to DH 14 on my iPhone. I had to add a proposal with DH 14 for Windows 10 to work.

@dbeato said in UNMS 0.12 rc2 released yesterday: @bnrstnr said in UNMS 0.12 rc2 released yesterday: DHCP stuff being in there for the EdgeRouter devices, but I also don't see it in the added features list. Regardless, it's pretty useful for me. It was there before. Yes, it has been there since at least version 0.10.0

I just updated today, not sure if I see any issues yet.

Did you use the Libreswan or Strongswan setting in your previous post?

@smitherick said in EdgeOS 1.10.0 final is released: Cheers to UNMS. Yeah, we are using it now, great stuff.

I think I have it figured out.. when I'm back on that network I'll get a screen shot. Hope to spend the afternoon testing it, have a few other pieces of gear to setup for it.

@mattbagan said in Looking for stock of the EdgeRouter 4: @JaredBusch ubnt has them in their store now https://store.ubnt.com/collections/routing-switching/products/edgerouter-4 I ended up purchasing from DoubleRadius.

@tdantzler said in Yet another UBNT EdgeMax vs Unifi: @JaredBusch I'm looking at the AirMAX lineup and have used a few of the products like the NanoStation 5AC loco with fabulous results.. but the rest of the stuff looks a little more than consumer grade. Do you think this is an accurate breakdown - Unifi - Small to Medium business with low customization needs. Primarily for Access Layer and down. Nice interface but not standard for routing setup UniFi routers and switches, yes. UniFi Access Points, are solid for any purpose. Also, I would personally never use UniFi routing/switching in SMB. But I know some people just live that pretty pane of glass that they never look at after 3 weeks.

@jaredbusch I have it up and running. (DNS) Even my guest WIFI on a VLan is now getting DHCP addresses. Everything is working great now.

RC is still not released, but is what they might consider for release once tested. Notice Beta is in the middle of the "non-released" period. These are as the terms have always been used, even going back to the early 1980s and, I assume, long before that. Release being such a structured term that it is nearly impossible to define released without using the term released itself. While I'm sure this has no baring in reality - for me release is a point but the public can get support for the thing. That's not quite accurate. There is no reason that something unreleased can't offer support. How else do you really do your testing, get feedback, and so forth? It's an expectation that anything that the public can get would get some amount of support most likely, because otherwise, what is the purpose of the public nature of the testing? Perhaps I should have added the words "expect to" to the support portion. As you said with the other thread, There should be no expectation of support for the product that was still in beta. So, here is a question then, does Microsoft ever release software? Because nothing that MS makes comes with support. What about Debian Linux, is it ever released? Expect <> free. But free software has all the same release guidelines as commercial software. And MS products aren't normally free. Again - what does cost have to do with anything? As I also said - you'd all probably disagree with me. Because you mentioned it in the post I quoted. Please highlight the part where I mentioned costs. Same thing I quoted and you responded to.

@jaredbusch said in Notorious Short-seller labels Ubiquiti Networks $UBNT as FRAUD: @zachary715 said in Notorious Short-seller labels Ubiquiti Networks $UBNT as FRAUD: Additionally, the Cavs aren't publicly traded, therefore there aren't necessarily shareholders who are pushing him to make the Cavs as profitable as possible. Not public, does not mean there are not shareholders. Just that they are not traded on a public exchange. Haha I knew when I typed that someone would say that. I almost spent extra time clarifying, but didn't. Yes there are possibly other shareholders/part-owners involved. Those few individuals can scrutinize the ownership/financials all they want for their company. (If they want to sell, it's probably a bit more convoluted than just hitting up ETrade.) The general public has no view into that info though and it's mostly irrelevant to them. In the case of UBNT, it just applies to a wider audience since there are many more investors that they're relying on to keep happy and keep the company's value as high as they can.

Just wanted to add @bj to this thread that I think a $100-ish Cloud Router from Mikrotik would blow most hardware away, including Ubiquiti, on pure performance. With the $50 and under models you are still getting 1 million PPS. The new cloud router series really has a crazy amount of power. This still coming from a pure PPS (packets per second) point of view. I think the cheapest cloud router has 12 to 16 cores That would only count for the core routers I am more familiar with (12 to 24 now) in the $500 range. Very poor marketing in the states but very popular with western country WISPS.
