Ubiquiti - ZBF, QOS & stuff

Ubiquiti's new ZBF firewall rocks in my humble opinion compared with the previous overly complicated setup. It logical and works as it should so kudo's to Ubiquiti.

UniFi Zone-Based Firewall - What you need to Know
A first look at the new UniFi Zone-based Firewall. What is it, how does it work, and how do you create new firewall rules

To test it, I setup a VLAN, assigned it to a port and watched what happened. The computer was assigned its VLAN IP4 and IP6 address, and network isolation rules were automatically created on ticking the isolation box.

QOS has seen some serious improvement as well, bring it close to other firewalls.

The log filtering in Insights has also been improved over previous versions as well making it more useful.

My annoyances. Ports on forwarding have to be matched when forwarding multiple ports. Ipv6 domain options is missing. Custom certificate is a manual affair, but I suppose that's livable.

But its getting better all the time.
