My AP as a client

I keep getting content filtering blocks but it names my AP as the client.  Do I have a wrong configuration?

I'm afraid you can't. At least not without switching to bridge mode.

Where do you find the alerts? What Meraki products do you use?

I have an MX64 and an MR33.  It's in the event log.

Okay. Is your AP in NAT-mode?

Yes

Then that is normal. Because the AP performs a NAT step for your wireless clients, anything coming from them seems to come from the AP in your MX's eyes. So it's one of your wireless clients getting blocked.

 

If you don't want that you either have to do the content filtering on the AP (for example using Umbrella) or change the mode to bridge mode.

How do I know which client the activity is coming from?  Or can I?
