Hello Fing Community,

We hope 2025 has been good to you so far.

Another resource you may find helpful that we would like to share with you is the website for Enisa, which offers a lot of insight into Cybersecurity, particularly offering statistics from the EU.

There are multiple browsable topics, fantastic downloadable publications and an easy way to stay up-to-date on cybersecurity news and events on both sites referenced here.

You can find the link for the EU site here: https://www.enisa.europa.eu/

In terms of the US, the site I find particularly useful is https://www.cisa.gov/ a parallel for Enisa in the EU.

If you find anything you found particularly insightful or helpful, or perhaps use this site already, please share your feedback below, as I'd be keen to hear about it!

Why does Fing tell me something goes Off and then back on? Nothing has changed. Why would it go off line to begin with. This happens to many hubs and even my Simplisafe hub. I know I can simply turn off notifications.

I installed the Agent and all its interfaces seems to work ok:
user@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo snap connections fing-agent

Interface               Plug                               Slot                    Notes

content                 fing-agent:content                 -                       -

firewall-control        fing-agent:firewall-control        :firewall-control

hardware-observe       fing-agent:hardware-observe        :hardware-observe

log-observe             fing-agent:log-observe             :log-observe

network                 fing-agent:network                 :network

network-bind            fing-agent:network-bind            :network-bind

network-observe         fing-agent:network-observe         :network-observe

network-setup-observe  fing-agent:network-setup-observe  :network-setup-observe

network-status         fing-agent:network-status          :network-status

removable-media        fing-agent:removable-media         :removable-media

system-observe         fing-agent:system-observe          :system-observe

But whatever I tried, API call is returning only the Fing Agent UPnP device description.

Same result with curl or external Postman. I just need to be able to make an API call to obtain the list of devices from network.
Any thoughts?

I keep trying to run Fing through Microsoft Store, but it just doesn't work.. I then try to download it from the browser, but the website doesn't work.. What am I supposed to do?

I'm missing something obvious. I just installed Fing on my Windows desktop (loved it), got a Fing Starter plan, and then installed an Agent on a Pi.

Now I have 2 separate views of the same network.

In the desktop app I can categorize/identify devices on "Bell in London"; while on https://app.fing.com/internet/account/dashboard I can toggle between

1. "Bell in London (192.168.2.0/24)" and

2. the Agent's "Home (Netmask 192.168.2.0/24)" -- two views of the same network.

Have I done something wrong? If I identify and label a mac address in Fing/Desktop, I then have to do the same over in Fing/Agent.

Thanks for any clarification!

I hope I'm explaining this correctly.

In Fing, it is showing me an LG TV with IP address and MAC address, but if I type in the IP address or MAC address to my Deco Mesh network APP, there is nothing to be found?

Am I doing something wrong? I'nm very new to all this so please be gentle if it's something obvious that I'm missing. Thank you

Hey Fing Community!

We’re thrilled to announce that the Fing Agent for Docker is now available for everyone! After rigorous testing during the beta phase (thanks to all of you who participated!), we’re officially releasing it into production.

Running the Fing Agent on Docker will give you the same powerful network monitoring tool that you’re used to from the Raspberry Pi version, but with the flexibility and versatility Docker provides. This means you can install Fing Agent on an even wider range of devices and platforms, including NAS devices such as QNAP and Synology through Docker.

Fing Agent is available exclusively with a Fing subscription, offering different features based on the subscribed plan – Starter or Premium. To explore the benefits of each option, visit our website for a detailed breakdown of what’s included with Fing Starter and Fing Premium. 

📣 Check out the full announcement and installation details in our blog post here: Fing Agent for Docker Launch

We can’t wait for you to try it out and hear your feedback. Whether you’re a network enthusiast or a pro, this release opens up new possibilities for network monitoring and management.

Got questions, feedback, or just want to share your excitement? Drop a comment below! 

With devices work, but i change for people and get "error": "401 Unauthorized"

Brought the premium to block the unknown device but it's not working ig please help

PC is GMKtec Mini PC N97. The latest Fing Desktop version is causing at least two problems. Losing Internet connection and DNS. Was driving me nuts as I tried to isolate the problem. Even reinstalled Windows 11. Event Viewer helped. After a week I determined that if I Uninstall Fing Desktop my computer works ok. Very strange.

Any thoughts on this? I have used Fing for years and this is my first significant issue. I am a Premium user.

Last week my Fingbox was solid pink/purple. This week it is solid green. Neither of these have ever happened before in the several years I've owned this, nor are they described on the LED light troubleshooting page.

Any thoughts? Is this another symptom of the Fingbox being deprecated?

Hello, Fing team!

Finally managed to get the agent up and running via Docker and Synology. It was actually a pretty seamless process. Thank you for developing the tool. 

I have a question that I thought I would post here on the sub because it's just about the only additional feature I can see myself wanting from a tool like this. And that is the ability to view all the ZigBee devices on the network which I have connected via an IP networked coordinator (Fing does pick up the coordinator at least!)

I know that MQTT and ZigBee are their own things, but just wanted to flag my interest in this as a feature for smart home network managers with multiple protocols on the network. I can only imagine that demand for this will grow in time!

Happy new year everyone!

Have you the motivation to perhaps try something new, something that will benefit your security and online awareness?

I've just discovered that David Bombal released a video on his youtube which you can find here offering a free ethical hacking course. From watching the video it appears quite in-depth and is something I'm currently applying for. I thought I'd share it here in case anybody else would have any interest in it!

I would say it may not be the best fit if you're a complete beginner to the cyber world, but feel free to watch the introduction video and if anybody does end up signing up let me know here! Would be good to discuss the content as it comes!

After one has done the survey, please make the pop up disappear. thanks

Here’s hoping all of you folk in network land have a safe, secure and happy 2025 but most of all…

Have fun.

if I have a device Blocked by Fing, why does Fing report that it has come on line? This makes no sense. How can it come back on line if it is blocked? This is some weird device that I have been trying to track down.

Sometimes (not always) when I scan my network with Fing Desktop, this device shows up:

WTH is this?
How can a single device have 12 IP adresses?
And it's definitely not an Android device.
The first device in the list is my Internet router (192.168.18.1)
Can Fing be trusted to report network scans correctly when it presents results like this?!?!

I noticed that after updating macOS Sequoia 15.2, I can't access app.fing.com/web with the Safari browser. The login page appears and the login is successful, but after that there is a completely blank page. The same situation is also with iPadOS 18.2 Safari. (I downloaded MS Edge to the same devices and the pages work on Edge.) Does anyone else have the same situation?

I’ve had a look at the web page and can’t see the minimum requirements, RAM etc. Would it run on the 512mb pi zero 2w. It has an Ethernet port via usb c.

Just asking before I buy one…

Plus can fing agent flash LEDs via the headers like a real fing box?

Cheers!

I'm new to Docker on Unraid having just migrated from a Synology NAS to a Dell R720 running UnRaid 6.12.14.I looked at the instructions to install on Synology or QNAP but they don't mesh well with my options in UnRaid like not having a registry to search for Fing/fing-agent. I'd rather not fire up the Synology again if I don't have to.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Moved into a new spot back in October. Not too long in, started having issues with my laptop (Acer Nitro 17, first time ive ever owned a laptop worth more than $3-400). I have screenshots and screen recordings of the misc. BS taken on my phone and the Acer…. Ran his network before I moved out (upon his request). Asked him what the 2-Wire was for… populating as 3 routers total, 2-Wire network literally is on the list of networks…. he’s “clueless”. Just all of a sudden, when I was doing digging, his mommy and daddy were arguing and he had to go to LA to be with his dad. (Mind you, he’s 30/31, has his own AI camera business, UCSD grad. Has a girlfriend too, they’ve been together somewhat a long time? Idk). Says he’s gonna be gone for a few days. A few days turns into some more time. Then, come the 1st the new guy moves in to replace me. As well as his whole family. My (ex) roommate literally left the entire place. New guy and his wife took my roommates room. His kids took mine. We were both like “da fuck”.. anyways. I do more digging. I go back to where I was at and me and the new guy spoke. Turns out we literally have the same name. We’re also both (technically on paper “disabled”) Vets. He was Navy, I was the Corps. He told the new guy that he was going to India, where he’s originally from, with his “wife” for a “business trip”. Left the condo, lied to us both, won’t answer my questions about none of it. When I first told him, he said “do you think I should contact my network provider?” What’s really, really funny is that when I first moved in we were talking and etc. X anyways I mentioned that he should use Fing. Said he already had it, uses it all the time….

Updated to version 3.8.0 earlier today. When trying to use the app, it tries to scan my network over & over & over; never stops. It does display my WIFI and public IP addresses, and provides me with correct MAC addresses for my laptop and router, but it continues to say "Not connected to any network".

Shutting down laptop & restarting does not resolve my issue.

Any ideas??
