Middle of this year, amongst all the chaos in my life, my Amplifi Alien setup decided to die on me, leaving the household without Internet and an annoyed pregnant wife. This was my perfect opportunity to switch to the Unifi stack! I had a defined set of constraints and requirements:
My homelab has gone from a simple Raspberry Pi to a Ubiquiti network-stack, a firewall, and 3 servers. This entire ecosystem powers my smart home, my web apps and other services I am self-hosting
The Firewalla Purple is in my mind the best home firewall for your personal use. The firewall is affordable, feature-rich, plug-n-play, and has a powerful iOS app for your work from home setup.
