Anyone have any experience with these?  I'm looking to migrate from OPNSense to one. Thanks

I have. They suck.
Great switches an APs though

Maybe the UI community forum, https://community.ui.com/ ?

Having said that, I do use a not-cloud Fiber Gateway (UXG-Fiber). Price/performance is great but of course not as many features as OPNsense. I use Technitium for DNS and don't use IDS at all + some region blocking (but not really necessary since I don't have any web services accessible from the internet). IPv6 is missing features but generally works.


What features are using on your OPNsense?

The more I think about it, the more I would only keep their In Wall Accesspoints and replace everything else with a different brand :)

Now if I could only somehow ditch the UniFi Controller too and have a webGUI on each In Wall itself...


Some new hack to flash EdgeSwitch Firmware on UniFi Switches would be fine too by the way!

Not many. I'm not having the success with OPNSense as others and haven't had luck getting help. Thanks

said the person who asked about switching fro OPNsense to Cloud Gateway, in the OPNsense forum and not the Unifi forum ;)

But hey, I get you. The Unifi community forum is a pita to even get to it.
And they make the same mistake as this forum by not using Discourse as forum software.

I am VERY HAPPY with that decision !!! :)

Discourse is pure crap!

Everytime I visit one i think to myself : Is this the future ?! I sure hope not! :(



But yeah...

The Ubiquiti Forum isn't exactly great either so it can be done even worse than Discourse :P

Don't know what you are talking about. Maybe bad setup selfhosted discourse?

Anyway, forums like TrueNAS or level1tech are IMHO far, far superior to this forum here.
Like it is not even a competition. Discourse is in a league of its own compared to this.

You don't know either apparently : Discourse for example blocks certain browsers because they think they are "Outdated" while they are absolutely NOT !!!

QuoteMaybe bad setup selfhosted discourse?
https://discourse.pi-hole.net/ is hosted on the Discourse CDN and something I visit very often, but would rather see Discourse NOT being used if I am completely honest!

After about 30 years of "Forum Experience" I can tell you that there are plenty of alternatives that are A LOT better !! ;)
