Thanks for creating this service. Curious what benefit or purpose you get from letting your pfsense handle the NATing, and also what purpose does your Unifi-OS device serve?

Find UniFi suite of products well suited for the LAN/WLAN, pfSense more for WAN functions. Also like to keep a clear distinction between local/WAN layers in the home network.

Edit: Don't trust UniFi products to sit at the actual Internet edge. Great case in point is this problem, that persists into UniFi OS 2.4.3.
