Secure UniFi access for third parties

Shield your UniFi Controller behind a secure proxy.

UniFiShield sits between your UniFi Controller or UDM Pro and external systems. Expose only the endpoints they need — without port forwarding, admin credentials, or opening your network.

Core Capabilities

Everything you need to share UniFi access safely.

UniFiShield acts as a controlled proxy layer in front of your controller. Third parties interact with sanitised, scoped endpoints while your admin credentials and internal network stay protected.

Secure by Design

Third parties never see your real login. Only device-specific API calls are exposed through the proxy.

No Port Forwarding

Keep your network closed. External systems can authenticate devices and call approved APIs without opening ports.

Granular Access

Only the endpoints you allow — like MAC authentication — are available. Everything else is blocked at the proxy.

UDM Pro Friendly

Supports classic UniFi Controllers and UniFi OS. Let partners safely use your UDM Pro APIs without full admin access.

Architecture

A proxy layer that sanitises every request.

UniFiShield sits between your controller and third-party systems. Incoming requests are validated, scoped, and forwarded — so external tools never touch your real admin interface or unrestricted API surface.

  • Third parties connect to UniFiShield, not your controller directly
  • Only approved endpoints are proxied; all other paths are rejected
  • Credentials and network topology stay on your side of the firewall

Use Cases

Collaborate without compromising your network.

Whether you run guest WiFi, automation, or partner integrations, UniFiShield gives external systems the access they need — and nothing more.

Guest WiFi & hotspot platforms

Allow a captive portal or hotspot provider to authenticate guest devices via MAC authorisation without handing over controller admin access.

Automation & monitoring

Expose selected UniFi device controls to home automation or monitoring tools while keeping the rest of your API locked down.

Controlled UDM Pro API access

Offer partners or integrators scoped API access to your UDM Pro without exposing UniFi OS admin credentials.

Third-party collaboration

Work with vendors and MSPs on network projects without opening ports or sharing passwords that grant full controller access.
