I've been running PFsense for about a year now and it's driving me crazy. Every now and then I loose internet connectivity even though PFsense says the connection is up. The only way I can resolve this is to reboot the router. Fk'n lame. I've had to reboot the system three (YES. 3) times today and I've only been home and awake for 2 hours. I'm sure someone with the know how could sort it but I don't have the time, expertise and certainly not the patience to slog through any more PFsense bullshit. Sucks because I spent something like $800 on the system.
So is the USG Pro a good fit for me? My details:
VPN. I'm using PIA and would like to continue to keep the entire house behind the VPN.
100 meg or so connection. So nothing too crazy, and I don't plan on getting any faster speeds unless it's the same price. My issue is with upload speed not down.
I'd like some ad blocking but this isn't a deal breaker. I could just set up a pi-hole.
I'm already running Unifi APs so I already have the controller up and running 24/7. If I get the USG I just might also get the Unifi switch to replace my current one to tie everything together as a nerd nicety.
I'm open to suggestions. I'm in particular open to the suggestion of taking the fucking PFsense machine out back for 12 GA target practice or over to the neighbor's yard to feed it to their pit bull.
