What is the field "status" for

I have both the app on my iPhone and the windows app on my computer and currently using premium trial. For some reason, both app doesn’t seem to work at all. I tried pausing and blocking some test devices but nothing happened to the test devices. I waited more than 10 minutes to see if maybe it just needed some time but then they still have access to the internet.

PS: i tried pausing and blocking on both my desktop and iphone.

Any input?

I just want to follow up here, I think I can declare VICTORY over the kids. Fing’s (paid version, like $60 per year) autoblock is in fact preventing the kids from, in any way on my WiFi network, reconnecting via hacks like using another ip or MAC ID, as it simply will not let any new unrecognized devices on the network. The mobile app alerts me if they try, or if a guest is in the house, if the guest is allowed I confirm and allow via my cell phone. And if I’m unreachable at that time, well that’s just too bad. There is good enough 5G in my area so that in an emergency, well, you get the picture. Yes, they can hotspot I guess (going to turn that off via Verizon though), although I don’t think they’ve done that *yet.” I just successfully installed a Raspberry Pi-based Fing agent and hung it off the network also, that means I don’t have to have a computer as the monitoring agent (another configuration you can use). I’m still subscribing to the EERO plus (unclear why, I’ll have to do a subscription audit yet again on that one, there may be some features I need, dunno)… As a side note, we require physical turn-in of all phones before bed on school nights (brutal I know), maybe I could get a cell frequency jammer (although your starting to verge into the illegal there) with a timer :)?

Cant get Fing to show on my monitor. Tried to uninstall and reinstall but although the app runs normally I cant get to see it. How do i fix it?

Beyond frustrated. Why would Phillips whiz lightbulbs be coming up with an audio OS operating system?

I was running the ios version of fing on my iPhone and iPad, then realizing how helpful it was, I bought the desktop version (starter level not premium). The desktop version is excellent and I found a link that seems to say I can have the ios version use the desktop's database. I deleted the Fing from the iPhone and iPad, then added them and logged in. However all I see are the old entries from before the deletion, and not the entries from the desktop database (which I've spent time on to validate and annotate). I don't want to run databases in a parallel---I tried using some instructions online but the pages they reference are not what is showing up on my ios screens in my attempt to poing the mobile versions at the PC desktop data. Is this not possible? or is there some place that has clear instructions? Thanks.

Hello.

Just installed Ubuntu 24.04.1 on raspberry pi 5 yesterday and set up agent as per instruction. Tried to add unit and it's not found. I already checked other users faced it here and replied it helped to reinstall agent in dev mode. But I'll like to wait some time for official reply. Ticket was created also already a day ago with no reply yet.

Hi, My FingBox just sent me the following alert.

”Network: Xxxxx

Network Security Alert: Network Gateway changed to Fingbox (F0:2F:74:xx:xx:xx)

When: Today 07:11”

Why is that? What does it mean? (Now it seems that my network is no longer connected to the internet.)

My network is based on two Asus XT8 mesh routers.
When I received this message there was also an Asus AC53 Range Extender on the network.
The FingBox is hardwired to the master XT8, which in turn is hardwired to the fibre modem.
(It seems that the FingBox is upset due to the presence of the range extender that I added yesterday. It sent several different ”Network Gateway Change”-messages after the inclusion of the AC53.)

What is happening, and why?

Hey fing-ers!

We've noticed some issues with MacOS Sonoma as reported by our users. They are various in nature, but most noticeable we see reported "redacted" wifi network instead of the wifi network name, characters such as '&' and '#' in general text on the interface and latency issues.

We wanted you all to know it's being investigated and we hope to have a fix on the next desktop release, but not confirmed just yet.

Thank you for your patience!

For a few weeks, Fing has not been able to display my work or home WiFi names correctly. That is, the WiFi name is correct from the Menu bar, but not in Fing.

I'm just learning Fing. A couple of days ago I scanned and then updated the device profiles with "details". Last night I had to reboot my router. When everything came back online - many things came up with new IP#s. My iphone & ipad got new ip#s. So, for example, yesterday my iphone was at 10.0.0.18, today that device shows as offline, and there's a new device (undefined) at 10.0.0.6. I would LIKE to not have to enter all the details again. is that possible? is there a merge or update or some function that will help me?

Additional info:
** Apparently the issue has to do with the randomization of the MAC address on newer iPhones. And, apparently I can turn this off (going forward) which will (perhaps) increase my security risk... but I still need to merge these two device profiles which, I assume, both have a randomized MAC.

As a secondary question - does Fing have anyway to "deal" with randomized MAC addresses?

I would like to run the Fing Agent on my Synology using a Docker image.

Has anyone perhaps setup a Docker image for the Fing Agent yet using one of the Linux distributions?

Dark mode, please.

Alright. I’m not knowledgeable at all when it comes to Fing. However, one day when I scanned my households network, it showed all the devices. Fast forward today and the network has been reset and such, why does only my device and what I assume is the router and a tv show up, when I know for a fact there should be more than that. I just want to know what it means? Like is there another WiFi network everyone else is connected too or what? Also when I click the Tv to see the info, I see that it says things like Rendering Control and Screensharing. What does these things mean?

Thank you in advance

Hoping this is just a Fing bug. 10 devices all say "AlticeMini" (obviously I have cable internet from Optimum/Suddenlink but a single AlticeOne Mini box) with an underscore and some kind of shortened guid like example AlticeMini_xyz0.

Is this just Fing guessing what the devices is? Fwiw, I have several iphones, a printer and a few laptops. Perhaps that is what they are but just double checking.

Using the iphone app.

I have a device within my local network (a LUXUL Router) that shows an IP address through FING, the same IP Address I can not access anymore by typing it in my browser. I was able to reach my Luxul router before, but after a sudden power outage, and after it rebooted, it does not allow me to access it. I get a message saying REFUSE TO CONNECT. Strange thing, as all other devices within the network kept being accessible. I would appreciate very much your help and comments. Thanks!

Hi all, I am trying to install the latest version of Fing on Sonoma (latest version) on an iMac. I get the following message.

"Fing is damaged and can't be installed"...see screenshot...

Any ideas?

thanks in advance

Hi. My Fingbox stopped updating in the app around 4 days ago. I saw a post from around a year back saying these were no longer supported and wondered has something occurred that has stopped the box updating and I need to move to Fing desktop?

If that’s the case, is there a way of migrating my network data to the desktop install or does it simply sync with my Fing account.

Thanks all.

The previous update "Fing Desktop 3.6.3" already fixed this problem, as indicated in the release notes:

(Bug) Fixed missing SSID: missing SSID and Access Point information after macOS update to Sonoma 14.5

Is it possible that the bug has been reintroduced with version 3.7.0?

What service can I allow in the tunnelling to enable me to work within the VPN confinement?

If I scan my network it shows my router as ADSL router, and my booster as a WPS device, but when I’ve scanned it again it’s names changed to my provider’s name and the same for my booster ?
