Ubiquiti Edgerouter Leaves Open Ports
-
I'll give it a go this weekend when I have hands-on with the device, just in case something should go wrong.
-
Definitely looking to see a follow up on this one.

It's not the weekend yet.
Did you ever apply the correct firewall rules to the unit?

It got backburnered, but I just worked on it this morning. It worked like a charm!

Good to hear. This line of equipment is just really really hard to beat for the price and feature set. It still has a way to go to be really user friendly, but it is a solid piece of gear in my opinion.

We are about to put one in at home.

For home use, check out the Sophos UTM Home Edition. It's a full=featured UTM for home.

I picked it up for a small 15-person company that has minimal requirements other than PCI (they process card payments online). While they're tiny, there was a gap between the home-edition devices and business-class devices in regard to filtering outbound traffic. Ubiquiti seems to fill that niche.

@alexntg I much prefer using stuff that is more applicable for business. Sophos pulls that "no prices" stuff. From what I can see it is about 600% the price of the Ubiquiti.

The pricing for the home edition is publicly posted:
http://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/free-tools/sophos-utm-home-edition.aspxAs far as "business" pricing, most of the major equipment vendors operate that way (Cisco, Palo Alto, Sonicwall). They're all either "Contact Sales" or "Find a Reseller". It's a traditional channel business model. Would I like to see a flat price? Certainly, but it doesn't happen.

There's no comparison in feature set. Aside for niche uses, the Ubiquiti is missing most of the features of a modern business-grade network security appliance. You're getting more than 600% of the features.

The EdgeMax Router line is not a Network Security Appliance. It is a router. Do not mix up the device's purpose.

It's free for software, but not the appliance. VyOS is free too.
