Policy inventory

The controller reports 148 firewall policies. This page records the high-level read-only API result and selected named policies observed at the start of the policy list; it is not a replacement for the UniFi policy editor.

Observed named rules include:

  • t14 — allow rule using a MAC address list within Internal.
  • streamer — block rule from Internal to External.
  • NPMPlus — block rule from Internal to External.
  • NMPLUSAllow (Return) — derived established/related return rule.
  • Block Invalid Traffic — system rule from Internal to External.
  • allow again — selected MAC addresses allowed to Gateway.
  • Block Traffic from 192.168.1.221 to 192.168.1.1 — host-specific block to the gateway.
  • Block Traffic from 192.168.1.221 — host-specific block to the gateway.
  • allow devices — selected MAC addresses allowed to Gateway.
  • Proxmox access — currently disabled.
  • Allow mDNS — system mDNS allowance.
  • allow homeassistant — selected devices allowed to the Untrusted Zone.
  • Allow Port Forward dns — system port-forward allowance to 192.168.1.117 on ports 80/443.

Review notes

  • Camera and IoT networks are grouped in the Untrusted Zone.
  • The default/system policy set contains broad terminal “Allow All Traffic” rules between some zone pairs; review ordering and intent before relying on isolation.
  • The API exposed policy definitions but not a complete human-friendly rule matrix in one response; use the UniFi dashboard for full ordering and per-rule detail.
  • No firewall changes were made during this documentation run.
