It genuinely sucks, because Ubiquiti and PFsense were my top contenders for my major network overhaul. I genuinely like the UI of Ubiquiti, modularity and features.

But moves like that make very careful about going ahead with the purchase.

It seems like I will need to learn how to operate PFsense.




Well, in that case you should read the comments of these first.

Thank you! It seems like it is genuinely hard to make a safe decision these days. In such cases, the question appears to revolve around, which appears to be less bad.

Are there any other alternatives worth exploring?


Yes, OPNsense.

Or use OpenBSD (unixsheikh has a guide) or Linux (Vyos, OpenWRT, etc).
