This guy's good! He blew Network Chuck's VLan video out of the water for sure. I'll be watching this again indeed when I'm in front of it all.

[KILO]

Dude, I just found your channel and all your vids are information gold. Where have you been all my life haha. Keep up the good work :D

[Crystawth]

I had been struggling to understand how vlans work and how to use them with unifi and your videos are wonderful. You break it down in a way that makes it very manageable to learn.

[omgwtfbbqpwnages]

I'm an absolute networking noob, and this was fantastic. Absolutely amazing that you do this work, and thank you so much for making this available.

Just started running pfsense in front of my home equipment. This video is extremely useful. Thank you Tom from 2017!!

Thank you very much.. I have a background in telecommunications and networking but it’s been decades I haven’t touched vLans, definitely what a refresher with pfSense. Kudos to the way you explained it and broke it down, what an excellent presentation!

[Impractical_Engineer]

This is invaluable and really saved me some time trying to figure it out myself! Well put together, super helpful and really easy to understand. For some reason I thought I would need a physical separate port on PFSENSE dedicated to each VLAN, Silly me haha.

[SteveFunk]

Great guide, I use opnsense (similar enough) with a Unifi AP and this guide worked perfect. I appreciate you putting this together. I used it to get my VLAN knowledge from nothing to actually setting up my first IoT VLAN which I've been wanting to do for months now.

[enderst]

heh how the hell did you know I was trying to get this same setup working yesterday? it's a Christmas miracle!
Thanks lol

[davidtoddhoward]

The information you share on pfsense (and other topics like FreeNAS) is so, so helpful. I'm following much of what you what you do for my own personal development at the moment, and really appreciate all that you do.
It's awesome that you dedicate so much time to openly share knowledge. It really helps engender trust and confidence in your company and skills. If I need expert services in the future, I'd have no hesitation in taking my business to you guys.
Thanks so much Tom, and team.. :-)

You're simply the best. Better than any course out there. By the way, I'm from Brazil. I appreciate all your knowledge and everything you've taught us rich things like that.

[BayAreaTechPros]

What an excellent guide and commentary. Thank you so much for this. Although I was looking for a guide on something different your explanations of your actions have helped me achieve exactly what I wanted. Thanks again this is very helpful!

[esrtek]

Many thanks! ordered a PF-Sense sg1100 (direct) but used your Amazon link for the rest.. 8 port Unifi Switch and a AP-AC-Lite all thanks to your suggestions and awesome vids!!

[tbeehler]

I've always had issues with VLAN's and understanding them, and this video just make it "click" in my head. Awesome job!

[blackryan]

5 years later this is still schooling people. Thanks for making this. Also...I would like to wholeheartedly thank the person that setup VLAN 69. If they did it on purpose or not don't matter. That port assignment makes me giggle

[steelrides]

Thank you for your clear explanation! I've been trying to get this to work for hours. I just needed to switch the Unifi switches from the default Lan profile to All and it pushed the DHCP address right through. Thanks.

[stuartwilson]

Thanks, great explanation. You Clarified the connection between pfsense and unifi for me. Turns out it's not complicated at all :)

[mdd]

Given the high quality of your tutorials, I have decreed 100% forgiveness/pardon for the man-bun! Well done tutorials! Keep 'em coming!

[rickabrams]

thank you so much for these videos. i can see the benefit of having IOT on vlans. i'll set this up on my own network and see what i all break :)

[Dorff_Meister]

I bought a pair of Unifi APs (my first Unifi products) so I could add an 'Internet Only' SSID for my IOT devices (and guest network and such) with my pfSense. Setup has been a snap with your help. Thanks!
