      pfSense is better than SonicWall, IMHO, but why not just use Ubiquiti? At $95, you really can't beat it.

      Content Filtering & SSL VPN are what Ubiquiti currently lacks. (unless they have a box which does it)

      It lacks SSL VPN? Could have sworn that was in there.

        Confirmed, Ubiquiti definitely does SSL VPN.

            I thought they had OpenVPN included in the recent version?

                Last many versions. Since 2013 at least.

                  That link actually points out that they DO have it. That's why people are carefully saying words like "web based" and "clientless". They have non-web, cliented SSL VPN, which is by far the more common. This is asking for something above and beyond SSL VPN.

                  OpenVPN is the most common SSL VPN on the market and is easily 80% of it.

                    I stand corrected then 🙂

                    Might end up playing with these boxes at some point.

                    So VPN is fine, the OP is just missing content filtering.

                        To most, OpenVPN is a VPN type of its own.

                        SSL VPN means a VPN accessed by WebGUI to almost all SMB out there.

                          It's pretty rare to find something that the Ubiquiti VyOS doesn't handle. It's the most advanced router software on the market for a reason.

                            That's a problem when the main product in the category and most uses of it are different than people define it. Very confusing. OpenVPN is just as much SSL VPN as any other type. And even the term clientless isn't correct, it's just a client that is downloaded on demand.

                                  All very true and all very much a method of VPN access I would never desire on my network.

                                  If the person truly needs VPN access, then I will set up a client and make sure the connection is truly secure.

                                    That was OpenVPN's take on it. They were like "we aren't making this because we are a security company and that's not secure."

                                      But I wish Ubiquiti would make non POE managed switches 🙂
