Hi, Thanks - I thought the interface would be fairly busy on the Ubiquity side. The USG (which is the Ubiquiti router) on the base model is fairly small and I don't know whether it has the horsepower to do the 1GBPs, will be doing more research. I did just browse https://demo.ui.com and didn't seem to get anywhere on first use, but your results seem more encouraging so I will give it more of a go. No PFSense demo site I can see by the looks, and I don't want to use a VM right now to test. If I go PFSense I need to sort out wireless access points as well which is another thing to look at.

I'm using PFSense in production and find it simply fantastic. I have never had an accessibility issue. Sometimes a link is not labelled but it's always logical to figure out what it is. For example, it's always in the order info, edit, delete. -----Original Message----- From: Chris T via Blind-sysadmins Sent: Monday 16 September 2019 16:51 To: Blind sysadmins list Cc: Chris T Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Re: Ubiquiti and/or PFSense access A few edgerouters, lite, 5 port PoE, edgre pro 8.

Digging up an old thread. Those that are currently using a PFSense or the unifi line from Ubiquiti, how are you finding their interfaces with JAWS currently. For me, I think I only want to use the Unifi controller via an iOS device, but I don't think that can do all that can be done. The tables in the web site are totally unusable for me. I'm going to be supporting a small business with three locations and I'll want to do everything remote once the devices are installed.

Thanks Andrew. This is good information. -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Hodgson Sent: Sunday, April 30, 2023 7:32 AM To: Mailing list for blind system administrators Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Re: Ubiquiti and/or PFSense access Hi. I think that was my thread. When I wrote that post I eventually went with a PFSense box which I used for just over a year before it died during the pandemic. Actually it didn't die but got very hot. I swapped out for Ubiquiti Dream Machine. For me it works but I don't think I would want to support it in a large business, for me there is too much going on in the backend, and the firewall isn't configurable enough. We have apparently got Wireguard and site-to-site VPNs in the latest release candidate firmware but not tested this end. Main thing for me is observability in a large environment. I can't easily get to some traffic logs to identify blocked traffic, and the line charts aren't very useful for me. When I had the PFSense box I did use a Ubiquiti access point which although worked did mean more equipment powered up. If the Dream Machine dies now I won't get another one with integrated access point as already the AP in the one I have is using older tech and I don't want to replace the whole thing to get Wifi 6. The Dream Machine SE with integrated PoE looks really good, but on the other hand I may just buy a PFSense box which uses low power and a PoE Ethernet switch to run the access points. I can always run a controller via a Docker container or if I'm feeling flush get a CloudKey. If you're running multi-site be aware the Dream Machines only let you control a single site.
