Security and privacy concerns with Ubiquiti devices (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I've been looking to improve the home network in my home lab. It seems that Ubiquiti has everything I could want in their various products.

However, it seems too good to be true. How much snooping does the router/firewall/APs do on my traffic? If you have a similar case, what has been your experience with Ubiquiti?

Thanks for the detailed description, I was actually planning to replace my ISP's router with pfsense/opnsense (I still don't know which one to choose) so knowing that I can block them from accessing the internet completely gives me some peace of mind.

100% Opnsense. I used to run pfsense for a couple of years but there project was bought by a for profit. Enshitification ensued. They still released their code as per open source licence, but it was not up to closer inspection as it could no longer be used to built the distro from source. They banned perfectly fine hardware from using pfsense as it could not provide hardware acceleration for open-vpn (Aes-ni). The fork opnsense is to be preferred.
