Has anyone set separate dns servers for vlans? I tried to use cloud flares familysafe dns server 1.1.1.3 for my kids device WiFi, adding it as the dhcp server in their vlan, but testing the WiFi I can still access inappropriate sites. Do I need to reboot the gateway perhaps?

I was tempted by buying a udm or cgm but after watching that I’m seriously considering my options. Absolute embarrassment

What DNS server are you being served by DHCP on the device, if it’s an existing connection it may be using an existing lease and thus the wrong DNS servers, you also need to consider the DNS Cache on your device.

I rebooted the devices but I’ll force a new lease and see if that changes things.

Yeah make sure that it's definitely getting the right DNS servers first, if you can't tell, change a device to those DNS servers and see if that sorts the issue, if you're manually changing them and not getting desired results, it's not due to anything locally.

You may be better running a pi-hole or something and using lists and offering out the respective DNS server based on the VLAN, we do similar at work whereby our DNS server will use lists to filter out traffic we dislike and force all client devices to use our DNS by redirecting DNS traffic to our host.

Having a really weird problem tonight. My U6 Pro is happily taking connections but isn’t passing on any network traffic ie I can’t access any local resources nor the internet. Even a hard reboot didn’t make any difference. I’m fairly certain it’s limited to just 2.4ghz traffic but can’t confirm.
I can access the U6 Pro though Network and it’s telling me everything is working perfectly so I’m a bit stumped particularly as I’ve not changed any settings and it was working perfectly fine this morning. Any ideas what the issue could be?

Those are some expensive cabinets

b0rn2sk8 · Monday at 22:40

I was going to say, I know Ubiquiti kit is expensive, I own enough of it but £500 is a bit much.

I get it, it’s a nice rack but £500 for what is £30 of sheet metal bent into a rack is well beyond me (yes I know there is a lot more value in a chassis than the sheet metal).

Glass fronted 42U.....

Hahahaha :confused:

RSR · Tuesday at 08:37

The 42U one isn't too bad but the 12U ones are expensive but pre-assembled ones normally are a bit more, even though I prefer flat-pack ones depending on location.

They have released a whole bunch more add-on bits this morning.

I imagine the active cooling adds a bit to the price but still not cheap.

Does what you have already not work well enough?

Sorry, I didn’t get a notification and forgot to check the thread!
It does work perfectly well yes, just want some new toys - the current setup have not had firmware updates in a couple of years etc and fancy a change

ChrisD. · Tuesday at 08:59

They finally have a shelf for the toolless rack.

Never mind. Seems to have sorted itself. Still a strange issue considering the problem persisted across reboots.

A 42U rack that doesn't have welded sections (like all the cabinets Rittal make) is going to be fairly poor quality, and it's an additional $500 for shipping in the USA. It's more expensive than APCs more budget cabinets

RSR · Tuesday at 11:19

I didn't look at the shipping costs to be far.

Armageus · Tuesday at 11:31

I'll stick with my HP(E) Racks - Have 5x 10462 G2's at work that we bought used, but would happily pay the full price for the latest equivalents

Caged · Tuesday at 11:39

You don't buy racks anyway, they exist to be thrown in for free to get a server deal over the line
