unifios-utilities VS wireguard-kmod

I just purchased the unifi express and I have been researching its capabilities and more specifically ad blocking functionality. I have found that people are complaining about the ad blocking abilities not being very granular and referring to unifios-utilities and running something like pi hole or adguard as an alternative. Can I safely assume that these options will be available to the unifi express?

https://github.com/unifi-utilities/unifios-utilities <- this cannot be more simple to digest. Stop spreading FUD (and learn to code if you still don't understand how Github works and what is linked)

Install on boot script: https://github.com/unifi-utilities/unifios-utilities/tree/main/on-boot-script

(https://github.com/unifi-utilities/unifios-utilities)

Not natively but they run dnsmasq so you can use unifios-utilities with an on-boot-script to modify dnsmasq’s config and add whatever records you need, including wildcard

I currently have site to site set up and working using kmod-wireguard on the UDMP, (https://github.com/tusc/wireguard-kmod) and a netgear running DDWRT on its native wireguard client.

https://github.com/tusc/wireguard-kmod maybe this can help? I’m not certain though

Just make sure you use the latest github release, instead of the one in the article since it was written in December 2021, so replace the link with the latest from: https://github.com/tusc/wireguard-kmod/releases

wireguard has been avaliable for quite a while. Check it out here. Also if you are inclined there is a redditor by the named u/peacey that developed split-vpn. Which is pretty cool. Although not official it works great imo.

Ah, you too have a UDM. I don't know if you knew it was an option, but if you already have the udm-utilities boot loader set up ( https://github.com/boostchicken-dev/udm-utilities) , there is a kernel level wireguard model that you can install right into the udm. ( https://github.com/tusc/wireguard-kmod)

If you don't shy away from the CLI and know basic Linux networking, you can easily set up wireguard or openvpn on the UDMP, and even push traffic via VPN gateway selectively per client or VLAN.
