How can I manually set certain devices as "unlicensed" (not counting towards license)?

Sebastian Nielsen

Im currently on UTM9 home license (I also have a unused XG home license but im will migrate once XG starts supporting PGP/SMIME)

I wonder, whats the recommended solution to set certain IPs/devices as completely blocked & unlicensed?

For example, if I have DHCP range 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.20, I want to tell the UTM that any device 192.168.1.21 to 192.168.1.254 should be blocked, so if a virus or something starts "IP-scanning" or something, that traffic should be blocked and not counted towards my licensing.

If I add a simple firewall "block all" rule, the traffic will be blocked, but all connection attempts will still count towards licensing what I have understand, which will mean the legit 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.20 will be ejected from network.

Or in other words, I want to prioritize so certain devices on network *ALWAYS* are licensed (counted towards license), so any host above this cannot "steal" licenses. 

 

Also, I wonder, how do I as an individual upgrade my license to a paid one? All resellers keep rejecting me as a customer due to I don't own any company or corporation...

Is there any non-commercial/non-profit pricing available for Home customers with more than 50 devices?

    While I may not be able to assist with your license assignment issue, I'm also interested in this question. I currently have about 30 devices. But when I start counting the VMs in my homelab, it may exceed 50 IP limitation. How would one go about it?

    The only devices that are counted are ones that actually connect to the UTM. I would expect that not your VMs need to talk to the internet all the time so, to reduce the IP address count on the UTM, create your own DHCP server that does not point at the UTM.

    XG115W - v20.0.2 MR-2 - Home

    XG on VM 8 - v21 GA

    That's a great idea! But would this DHCP server and all of its clients be able to stay under the protection umbrella of UTM?
