That's actually a really good quetsion. But let's tart at the bginning: What an IDS typically does is to look into the behavious of a host OR the content of packets (deep packet inspection).It checks if the content is suspisious, e.g. by using a list of known patterns how an atack looks OR the behav

Great in-depth review as I think a write up like this may have had me hold off on my unas2 purchase. However, what this NAS has in lack of features can make up for in what you plan on using it for. (Give and take) My problems with ubiquiti at the moment is that they don't just make a great all aroun

Ignore Teleport, Ubiquiti already provides you with a much better native VPN option - just use the built-in Identity Endpoint service which includes Wireguard. I was also struggling to get Teleport working, until someone pointed me towards Unifi Identity Endpoint's Wireguard VPN. Free (for <50 users

Clay... thanks for the reply and sorry if I get caught up in my little bubble of Ubiquiti gear/fanaticism/obsession. I'd say that testing of items such IDS and IPS throughput across devices would be helpful. For example, the UCG-Fiber is supposed to smoke the UDM Pro lineup (until the beautiful Beas

The UDM Beast has a total of 15 ports in all. The ports are as follows: Two 2.5GbE ports (can be configured as LAN or WAN). Eight 10 GbE ports (one of the 10Gb ports is labeled as a WAN port, but this is configurable as either LAN or WAN). Two 10Gb SFP+ ports (also can be set as LAN or WAN ports). T

i feel you on pppoe pain - my udm pro capped at 2gbps too. the missing hardware offloading toggle in beast screenshots is worrying. ubiquiti has a history of software pppoe crushing cpus. since you already get 5-6gbps on ucg fiber with ids/ips, i'd wait a month for real reviews from european users.

The main thing I can see is this has two 25gig ports for you core switch connections. A LOT of places still do a route-on-a-stick setup (for simplicity or lack of knowledge) where all inter vlan traffic needs to go back to your firewall/router. On other UDM's this was a huge bottle neck especially i

Mikrotik is complicated because of the amount of control it gives to the user.. yes, this means the user can fumble and make configs that suck and hurt performance... I am very happy with by RB5009 because of the control I get over it.My colleague is very happy with their UDM because it's easy. I'd

I’m using a UniFi Dream Machine Pro, it’s about 5 years old but it’s a total beast, but it wasn’t cheap. I wanted something that was part of ecosystem with separate Wi-Fi access points.

UDM Beast is interesting, but at that price I would have expected some next-generation firewall functionality. I understand that it's a wonderful world without any licensing, but there are other vendors.They offer this functionality even though they're much less powerful. It's clear that Ubiquiti de
