Ubiquiti starts serving ads in their management interface

I recently purchased switches, wireless access points and cameras for a new home-office setup. I was looking at going full Ubiquiti because the dream machine (UDM) comes with a network video recorder (NVR) that looked quite good in comparison to Zoneminder, Shinobi and even Synology's paid product.

While researching I found-out that you must use a ui.com account to setup the UDM (the apologists call it "mandatory online registration"). While you can setup a local account and disconnect from ui.com afterwards, I was perplexed that they would choose to do this.

Their user forums had at least two flamewar threads with people pointing-out the security implications of linking your local network to a remote, internet-accessible service but zero communication from Ubiquity themselves. Fast-forward to January and we saw the disclosure of a massive breach on ui.com.

So I ditched the Ubiquiti cameras for Geovision (better bang for $), kept the switches, APs and have been running the controller in containers (https://github.com/jacobalberty/unifi-docker). Needless to say, I'm not going to upgrade from version 6.0.43, which does not include advertisement.

I hope it doesn't get any worse because I do love how easy it is to maintain VLANs, firewall rules and IPS services.

  Adblock list to remove ads hosted on UniFi

I made an ad block list for these ads. It's not great that we have come to this, but here we are.
