🔹 Applies to: UDM, UDM-Pro, UXG-Pro, and similar UniFi Security Gateways.
To ensure proper connectivity, configure your UniFi firewall to allow specific IP addresses from Spotipo's servers.
This configuration enables seamless network traffic flow between your local network and the captive portal system.
This guide walks you through configuring firewall rules on your UniFi gateway using the UniFi network application.
While these steps focus on UniFi devices, the same principles apply when creating firewall rules on other network systems.
The process involves filtering traffic to allow matching traffic from authorized sources while maintaining security.
Before you begin, you can access your UniFi network application with administrative privileges.
You'll configure UniFi firewall settings that serve through UniFi firewall systems without compromising your local network security.
Under Firewall Rules, press Create New Rule
For UniFi Gateways (UDM, UXG, etc.)
Go to Settings > Firewall and Security.
Under Firewall Rules, click Create New Rule.
Configure the rule:
Type: Internet Local
Description:
spotipo_allowAction: Accept
IPv4 Protocol: All
Source Type: Object
Create a New Port/IP Group (Under source address group):
Name: Spotipo_servers
Add these IPs:
107.178.247.148 35.244.104.229 35.236.87.84 104.155.46.61
Finally, save the Firewall rule to complete your UniFi firewall configuration, and you should see the new rule appear in your Firewall
Rules section below, confirming that your UniFi gateway is now properly filtering network traffic from Spotipo's servers to your local network.
Your UniFi Firewall Is Now Configured for Spotipo
Once you've saved the firewall rule and it appears in your Firewall Rules section, your UniFi gateway will properly allow traffic from Spotipo's servers to your local network, enabling seamless captive portal authentication for your guests.
What to do next:
Test your captive portal by connecting a device to your guest WiFi network
Verify your controller status shows "Online" in Spotipo settings
Complete your UniFi controller setup if you haven't already
Common UniFi firewall issues:
Portal still not loading: Verify all four IP addresses are correctly entered in the Spotipo_servers group
Rule not taking effect: Move the spotipo_allow rule higher in your firewall rules list
Controller shows "Not Reachable": Check that the firewall rule action is set to "Accept" not "Block"
