Host exceeded error

[filosad]

Untangle is reporting an error that I have exceeded my license count for the # of hosts I can have on my network. For some reason untangle is reporting over 600 hosts in a home network. I am sure that # is very wrong. Please assist on how I can flush the system and get the correct # of hosts for my home network.

Do you have Apple products on the network? They use rotating MAC addresses which will cause the issue above. You can select which WiFi networks to not rotate on in the Apple system preferences for Mac and iOS.

Click on the host link in the top of your NGFW Gui to get a list of seen MAC addresses. The maximum Active is what the license manager looks at.

Android devices do that now too, it's really annoying.

Yes, I have several Apple devices. Is there a way to avoid this issue on Apple and Android devices ?
