NEW to UNIFI VLANs?? START HERE!!!

There are a lot of version of this walkthrough out there on YouTube, 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!

Probably the only video with the new interface. Thanks for creating and being very detailed with background info for noobz.

Finally one of those vlan guide that I can follow and understand easily. VLANS are not that scary after all. Cheers man!

Thanks! Great tutorial. I set it up and it works perfectly. A dual screen setup to watch the video and work on the other is the way to do it!!!

I had no idea about the "new" Wifi Pre-shared Key assignments to different networks, that's cool. Thank you for explaining and showing that.

Thank you for this walkthrough. I've struggled trying to configure the UDMP and you made it simple and straightforward.

This is AWESOME !! I just got my UDM SE and bunch more Unifi equipment and was looking for a video just like yours. Helped lots !! Thank you.

Glad you are using the new UI. Aside from that, what a great job of providing the list of items to change, their order and a great explanation as to why. I've watched other videos that assume way to much of the audience.

Thank you! You’re the first, explaining vlans so that I understand it.

Wow, huge work here!, honestly the best vlan class on YouTube. Congrats and thank you

Many videos in Youtube this is the only video that explained firewalls rules in UniFi that I can understand. Thank you for the video.

I am a Unifi virgin. I have watched many videos to try to understan the world of Unifi, this video is gold! You explain it well. Thank you!

Perfect tutorial! Not that I can only get what you set up but I got some understanding so I can adapt to my own rules using your video. Keep up the good work!

I am finally getting fiber. Getting a new home network setup. Going to a dream machine. Love the idea of just one said for multiple v Lans. Goimg to save me a lot of time setting up. Thanks for the walk through.

You're a good instructor! You saved me tons of headaches and time. Very much appreciate what you're doing.

Yessir, you explained it well. It's easier to understand the more advanced parts once a baseline has been understood and configured. Just what I needed as there are more and more IOTs and guests in my house these days.

Thank you for this video. It was so much clearer and personable than others. You say you're not a teacher, but I'm not convinced.

You easily earned a sub for this. I'm very new to unifi gateways after using pfsense for years and firewalla for a few months this was just what I needed after getting my UDM Pro SE up and running yesterday. I had my pfsense dialed in for years, but I wanted to get a more user-friendly network solution for my home just in case something happens to me. This tutorial is solid and I'll be employing much of this ruleset to my network to start as my basic setup is very similar to your example. Great job and Thanks!
