I just noticed PrivacyBadger is blocking Google Analytics on the management interface now, has it always been like that? I just did the update and I'm not seeing that ad.
Do you own a UDMP?

I'm astonished by the childish and rude language directed at the customer support rep.
Because I called out their bullshit?
Calling out bullshit is fine but I'd choose better language.
"This is unacceptable and this change makes me very angry. I will not be considering future products from Ubiquiti"

The customer service rep isn’t in control of the change. They’re in control of what they tell me, and he was bullshitting. Not really sure what else to tell you.

#34Re: Ubiquiti starts serving ads in their management interface
#35One of the reasons I have used Ubiquiti over the last few years is their product quality over other networking hardware. The inclusion of ads leads me to revisit those assumptions before my next purchase. Ads, even if self-promotion, are a bellwether for a company being desperate or greedy, neither of which bodes well for their long-term product quality, usually because it indicates sales people are making the decisi…
We upgraded to Ubiquiti a few months ago. I was so impressed by the hardware for the price. The dream machine firewall had such a good interface compared to more expensive firewalls I’ve used in the past. I’ve been very pleased so far, but this and another article have me worried they’re going downhill.
As a flip side experience, I have a dream machine too; it ignored my auto update settings and updated itself anyway, there's no way to roll back, and it now regularly stops responding, has high packet loss over wifi and supports response was effectively "go jump". Very unhappy.

#36An advertisement for a company’s products on the login page is one thing - but a full on banner in the interface itself (with apparently no way to disable) is another. Sticking with Mikrotik for now.
Mikrotik user here, I find their software really clunky and buggy. My dream networking gear for my house is whitebox switches that I can run Debian on, but I can't find any at an economical price. Anyone know of 5-12 port ARM switches?
Are you talking about the windows-based software? It's clunky.
The CLI, on the other hand, is pretty great. Everything is consistent.

#37Joke's on you, Ubiquiti - you've bungled so many controller upgrades I haven't upgraded it in a long time.
Jokes on me... They somehow bungled the auto updates for udm machines, and force upgraded people regardless of the setting.

No the CLI too unfortunately. While it is consistent, the editing of row numbers and the display of settings is really cumbersome. Setting up VLANs in particular is really tedious. Compared to real enterprise grade networking (Juniper/Cisco/Arista) it's dangerously unintuitive.
I've also tried automating it via Ansible with no success, has anyone had any luck with that?

Some Mikrotik hardware can run OpenWRT.
I have an RB4011iGS+5HacQ2HnD, oddly enough made by the networking company Amazon acquired (Annapurna). In theory, the CPU is supported in the mainline kernel, but I can't find an OpenWRT release or figure out how to package a custom Linux payload for flashing.
Mikrotik support refuses to provide me the uboot config they use or guide me through this process :(
