- UniFi home-network owners and their installers
- Worth noticing
- Existing devices are reviewed before enforcement; the page flags private Wi-Fi addresses as a source of false new-device alerts.
Field notes
The setup connects a UniFi console, reviews existing devices first, then holds unfamiliar Wi-Fi clients for an allow-or-block decision sent to a phone. The page says the system uses UniFi's blocking controls and includes a never-block list and a safety brake for bursts of changes. Coverage depends on UniFi access points; wired-device blocking requires a UniFi switch, and private-address changes on household phones can make familiar devices appear new.
