@DefenderLLC haha im very simple at home.
6100 at the perimeter and also acting as my L3 gateway for my vlans.
Unifi APs and Unifi switchesTo be honest...Im looking at putting the EFG at the edge and moving the 6100 down a layer. I still need pfsense for al the wireguard and ipsec connectivity (to many to move over ) so that's a simple port forward.
I would swing over the vlans to the EFG. This will also allow me to start seriously looking at the Unifi Protect line. I have RING and i want to get away from that system as quickly as possible.Just in case you’re not aware, the EFG does not run Protect. It’s only a network controller. The UDM family will run any UniFi app, but at the enterprise level, it’s pretty much a one for one thing . You would need one of their two NVR‘s for storage and to run the protect app.

It’s not ideal though because NAT cannot be disabled officially so I’ll have to run it in a dual-NAT scenario like I used to do with my 6100 MAX.

Ahhh good looking out. I didn't know that. Thats ok. Do still plan on getting a UDM or some variant.

I’m happy to speak with you about this before you make that decision. It’s not ideal to have two UniFi gateways connected to each other. It won’t work as intended unless you’re OK with a dual-NAT scenario. You can only have one network controller in use and one can’t manage the other.
If you don’t plan on running the other UniFi apps like talk or door access, I would just get one of their protect NVR‘s instead since it’s just a layer 2 device. Just something to think about.

Will do! Know anyone that wants to buy a 6100 MAX with rack mount kit in pristine condition?

To be fair, Unifi is great and all, with the UI design, simplicity, getting started with new devices, but you all seem to be forgetting about it's proprietary nature, which sure, if you're building a network for someone else, who cares, but for your homelab? I don't think I'd ever want to run an Unifi router as my main one. Protect on the other hand, being fully isolated from the internet, is plausible.

They've really come around in the past year. The interface is just better. It's much easier to manage and you can easily integrate it with non-UniFi gear. I have doing that for several years including my 6100 MAX. It's gotten to the point where I don't really need pfSense anymore. Plus their switches and APs are awesome.
I say use what you want to use. My home lab is separate from all of this anyway.

Side note I would like a new 2100 with dual Arm Cortex A76 processors. Man that would be wicked fast… also dual SSD ports one specifically for swap use, and maybe 8GB ram

@michmoor PM sent.

It's fun to keep getting news letters about how great the new version of pfsense is, and yet we are almost 2 months without updates and its starting to feel like netgate fired their entire dev team, never in over a decade have they been so quiet on the forums.
Can we tag this marketing woman, maybe she will have some insight into whats going on....
-
@behemyth she actually replied to me this afternoon. Let me give you a screenshot!
-
@DefenderLLC Thats not her, Sharon Snyder is the one who sends out the marketing emails.
I've never heard of a Glen Shok before lol...

Actually I didn’t pay attention to the name until after I posted the screenshot. They did respond immediately though which I found interesting. His/her reply was pretty funny.

not aged well my post. and not surprising.

Not surprising, they have released a single update this entire year now, and with all the vulnerabilities that have been discovered, for a security focused company that just blows my mind.
I'm also shocked how tight lipped they are being. There has to be something going on behind the scenes. I wonder if some of the main developers left.
I know many of us are looking at other products. This is rediculous.
