Keep in mind why vlans were created. If you have a 24 port switch but you're only using 6 ports. Then you need to add another network that needs another 6 ports, buying another switch isn't very cost effective since your current switch has 18 spare ports on it. Enter vlans. You can segregate 6...

Do you have a managed switch that will do vlans? If so, you just add a vlan to the LAN in pfSense. Set the switchport that connects to the LAN as a trunk, also trunk the port going to the AP. The native (untagged) vlan will be the existing LAN, and you would tag the new vlan on the trunks. Very...

Yeah, so they gave you a router with the service. You may want to get rid of it and just use your own but if it's all working then go with it. No need for both routers though so you can disconnect the old one also. By data cable he meant an ethernet cable going straight to the ethernet port on...

New modem? Fiber doesn't use modems. Are you sure it's not a router and you're now double NAT-ing? That would be my first guess. But you're saying you can't even access it locally? Who did the install? Are you sure they left your router in place? They may have bypassed it.

Yup, not sure if the old CocoonTech was brought over when it came back but if so, you'll find a post where I was the one who suggested pfSense to you. I used m0n0wall for years and switched to pfSense when they forked it. Haven't used another firewall since. I have tried others, but nothing...

Latest? Teleport had been in use since 2019 last I knew. Maybe even sooner. What you aren't getting is outbound connections versus inbound. Teleport is basically TailScale (which also uses Wireguard). So you are still establishing an outbound connection from your LAN to Ubiquiti's servers...

I can absolutely explain it to you. Those services create an outbound connection to "their" servers. So the inbound return connections are allowed. This means you are now relying on "their" servers to connect to your network. If you're ok with that, then go for it! Or, as I said, you can learn...

All Unify equipment try to make it easy for people who don't how much about networking. It does open a port, but it does it for you so you don't know it's open. This is why I always try to get people to move away from Unify. Learn how to network yourself instead of letting the equipment do it...

It's not possible to block "inbound traffic". They can block inbound ports but ethernet is a 2 way protocol so blocking one way would stop all traffic since the outbound would never receive a reply. But anyway, I think the first thing to verify is that your public IP didn't change. You say you...

I use POE to USB adapters and just leave them plugged in. No need to worry about batteries dying that way. 3D printed a case for them and it mounts to a 3 gang box. The adapter is in there.

Don't really have a suggestion but I do have a tip. I use Fire Tablets and if you block they're internet access you get no ads. Something to think about I guess.

First thing to do is verify the port is forwarded correctly, and to the correct IP. You don't say if anything (hardware) has been changed recently so chances are, your public IP changed and isn't pointing to your hostname anymore. Go to https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ and put in...

You can update it from PC Access.

Wow, you really haven't been in the loop. The Omni line has been discontinued for quite some time now. It's already a dinosaur, but still a well functioning dinosaur.

It was drawn in inches so you'll have to convert to mm. You're probably better off printing it with the actual face down on the bed.
