Configure Unifi Zone Based Firewall to work with Spotipo

This guide is complimentary to How to configure UDM (PRO/SE) with Spotipo with new UI. If this is your first time setting up Spotipo, after configuring Zone Based Firewall, continue setting things up with that guide.

Unifi introduced a new Zone Based firewall to simplify firewall management by grouping network areas, allowing broader policies instead of numerous individual rules. This reduces complexity, enhances security, and eases traffic monitoring and management.

This is not yet mandatory, but if you want to use it and want to know how to configure it to work with spotipo correctly, this is an article for you.

Creating New Policy



To allow Spotipo servers to communicate with your Unifi controller, you will need to create a new policy.

To do that, go to Settings -> Security -> Firewall from there, create a new policy by clicking on "Create Policy" button at the bottom left corner of the screen

Name the rule Spotipo_allow, copy the rules from the picture below.



Create a new object by clicking New button.

Name the object Spotipo_servers and add the following addresses.

107.178.247.148

35.244.104.229

35.236.87.84

104.155.46.61



Make sure that the Destination Zone is set to Gateway.

Match the rest of the settings to the ones in the picture below.



Apply the changes and feel free to test things out.
