How to Set Up Content Filtering on Ubiquiti UniFi
Add DNS-level malware and content filtering to a UniFi network in minutes — per-network control included.
You'll need two things:
- 1 · A VeeShield account ($6.99/mo, unlimited devices, cancel anytime)
- 2 · Access to your router's admin panel at unifi.ui.com
Open your UniFi console
Sign in at unifi.ui.com or your local controller and select your site.
Open WAN settings
Go to Settings → Internet → your WAN connection.
Set the DNS servers
Turn off Auto DNS and enter Primary: 185.236.104.104, Secondary: 185.236.105.105.
Optional: per-network DNS
For different rules per VLAN (e.g. kids' network vs. office), set DHCP DNS per network under Settings → Networks, and create matching profiles in your VeeShield dashboard.
Verify your protection
Run the protection check on your VeeShield dashboard's Setup page.

Common questions
Will this slow down my internet?
No. VeeShield runs on a global anycast DNS network ranked the fastest filter in the world by DNSPerf — most homes actually see pages start loading faster, because ads and trackers get blocked before they download.
Does this cover phones and tablets too?
Yes — everything connected to your Wi-Fi is covered automatically: phones, tablets, laptops, smart TVs, and game consoles. Nothing to install on each device.
Can my kids just undo it?
The setting lives in your router's admin panel, which is protected by your router password. VeeShield also blocks the VPN and proxy sites commonly used to sneak around filters. For extra security, change your router admin password while you're in there.
What if a site gets blocked that shouldn't be?
Open your VeeShield dashboard and allow it with one click — the change takes effect in seconds.
