I tried running the Ubiquiti controller software on the pfSense box for a while, but it was a pain - it took 5-10 minutes to start up, and it was lost whenever I did a pfSense upgrade. I've found it much easier to just point the access points at a general-purpose server (on-site if available, or on a remote VPS that I have already).
- peckrob 12y agoWeird. Other than the startup thing (which is not a big deal for me because I leave it running), I haven't had any problems upgrading. A few months ago I went to 2.1.5 and pretty much everything just worked.
- organsnyder 12y agoMinor upgrades were fine. It was a major one (2.0 to 2.1) that wiped it out for me. This was on the embedded version of pfSense - the full version might behave differently. Otherwise, the upgrade was one of the smoothest I've ever had for this sort of thing.
