I'm not a professional in this area in any way but this is how I made it work :), I have a 50/50 load-balancing setup and as you can see in the Rules/LAN pfsense is doing a good job spreading the load equal to the two WANs, You might need to zoom in to see everything …. As of now though things have been operating smoothly. Route, switch and Wi-Fi? Netgate sg-3100 is my other options. AmpliFi vs. UniFi: Conclusion Ubiquiti’s AmpliFi line of products offers excellent performance and reliability to get spotless WiFi coverage in your home. We believe that an open-source security model offers disruptive pricing along with the agility required to quickly address emerging threats. Funny. Otherwise I need your help to understand if anything what I need to do on the USG side which again will have it's NAT disabled. I don't have a homelab/home network to speak of...just lots of devices and I want maybe a bump in network security. It's debatable rather the USG add enough value to have it in such a mix. How can I get the PFsense & Unifi to play nice with the following config. I have a homelab that consists of a newly added WG Firebox M400 with pfSense 2.4.5 installed on it. UDM Pro is still too buggy and not nearly as capable as PfSense. You can name and setup your network in the unifi controller just fine without a USG. On the plus side, one can use the Unifi controller exclusively to add or change subnets/VLANs, and most routine tasks, easily and quickly. I’d only switch to UDM/USG for the pretty controller functions and dashboard. Your browser does not seem to support JavaScript.

For the gateway: Netgate appliance, SFF PC with a multi-NIC card or an embedded appliance off Amazon would all work. UDM Pro vs USG & pfsense. well the point of Smart Q is to alleviate buffer bloat so that's not shocking. I used my pfSense for something other than a firewall. Agreed. I just bought a USG and a nanoHD to upgrade from an existing consumer router. Like Reply. I did this to use my new fast gigabit connection to its fullest. It usually ends up not doing all three that well. Archived. pfSense in front of USG. I'm wondering if pfsense as router and firewall + UniFi controller on my NAS >= UDM Pro? Does the UDM pro protect the network as well as a pfsense firewall would? Rock solid stability is important now working from home, so I've just left if for the time being. So far, people seem very very happy with it. Other than that it’s pfsense all the way! In the exact same boat. pfsence or untangle on a nuc is far more capable and probably about the same price. What are you going to do with the USG pro? I've had mine since the first week of general release. 0. Additionally I could replace the video / network controller currently running on my Nuc. Maybe I'll start migrating non-critical subnets/VLANs over to pfsense for testing so it won't affect "working from home". I'm just wondering if it pays to wait for them to be in stock and return my USG. If you'd like to post a question, simply register and have at it! You should be able to add additional SSIDs and VLANs to the access points via any controller. My purpose for getting the USG is that a lot of the features in the Ubiquiti controller require a USG, such as creating a guest WiFi network, etc. I can just keep going with built in firewall or. If I had UniFi gear doing that, I get easier configuration and changes in the UniFi controller UI, pfSense now has to have a VLAN config matching the UniFi gear, that could all move to the USG, I have a what I think is a pretty modest set of firewall rules, almost all based on source VLAN, with only a few port forwards. But to each their own :). Close. Otherwise pfSense has no idea how to reach it and traffic that it gets for a client in the USG LAN will not be routed correctly. The only thing will be on pfSense adding the USG as a gateway and static routes to the subnet(s) behind it via that gateway. Log in or register to reply here those folks very pleased add a static.
