Might want to blur your WAN IP at 3:28 @LTS_Tom

Honestly, I love 9.x and couldn’t have picked a more perfect time to switch from pfSense to UniFi.
9.3 is so much better than all other releases it feels like it’s finally 100% a solution. Everything else is just gravy.

As already mentioned by Tom, the vpns needs some work and allow you to change settings.

PFSense vpn settings are fair better than unifi offerings - having the function to have multiple openvpn, wiregurard servers using different ports, 2FA using radius, etc

Agree latest unifi version is a major upgrade in the right direction.

Yes, pfsense still has more VPN options and if I were to do a comparison video today that and pfblocker would be the big differences to highlight.

I fully concur with both. I’m merely saying UniFi is fully functional now. Whereas it wasn’t before and required cludgy mechanisms to make it useful for even basic uses.

Absolutely they have further to go on the pro/commercial/enterprise side.
