Creating port forward rules is a fundamental part of any firewall. This video demonstrates how to create, and troubleshoot firewall rules using the Ubiquiti Unifi platform. Most of the discussion revolves around the UDM-Pro, but I also show some of the differences between it and doing the same thing with a USG.

I probably should have done this ages ago, but better-late-than-never… From now on, bicycle and fitness products/news/etc will be covered on Mamilian, service here, will return to normal.

About five years ago, someone created a feature request on the Fitbit forums requesting that they allow the device to act like a BTLE heart rate (HR) monitor. Simple enough, Fitbit devices have BTLE (that’s how they sync with your phone), and they track heart rate (at least most of them). Adding this feature, which many other HR tracking watches […]

I had some time on my hands this evening, so I figured it was as good a time as any to take the Ubiquiti Unifi Dream Machine Pro (UDM-Pro) out of the rack and put it in a quiet place to record how loud it is generally, and at maximum fan speed. Unfortunately, while I was at it, I found […]

If you’re having trouble adopting a Unifi AP (access point), need to change a network IP, or curious how to setup and configure a wireless network on a UDM or UDM-Pro so that it has it’s own VLAN/subnet for management reasons (i.e. parental controls). This video walks through all the steps to do that, as well as discussing some features […]

Due to a bug in the Unifi mobile app, I incorrectly stated that the UDM-Pro’s SFP+ ports were completely broken. As it turns out, they do work, but only barely.

A bit over a week has past since the UDM-Pro first look, and I thought it would be good to provide a status update, and show some good (IPS) and bad (SFP+ ports) news that I discovered while waiting for Ubiquiti to respond/fix anything.
Read moreAdding to the list of things that should be obvious, but I just haven’t thought about: Teslas can be jailbroken to provide features [back] that shouldn’t have been taken away. People have certain expectations when they buy a car. For example, they expect it to work for years afterwards needing only basic maintenance. They also expect that the purchase price […]
