I've been using PFSense for years, and it's been pretty great, but I also have some friends who are homelabbers that like their Unifi setups.

What do you guys prefer, and why?

Ubiquiti has had outages in the past that meant you couldn't manage the equipment right in front of you.

Even discounting the potential security implications of that kind of management, the rage I would feel in that situation is enough that I while my AP is nice, works great, I will never use any of their gateways.

I'm using a 2.5g protectli with OPNSense now, and it's easy to manage, and all local.
