Unifi Captive Portal For Guests
If you want to provide your guests with free and easy internet access, setting up a Unifi Captive Portal might be a good idea.

You don’t want to give your guests access to your systems. By using the Unifi Guest Portal you can isolate the clients on your network and give them access for…
CREATING AN LACP LAG ON A UBIQUITI UNIFI SWITCH FOR SYNOLOGY NAS
Initially, the Synology Bond need to be prepared for LACP (IEE 802.3ad). This can be done via Control Panel – Network – Network Interface – Bonded Interface (if already created, otherwise you need to create one). Select IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic Link Aggregation for the Bond interface and apply the configuration. Because the switch is not prepared yet, the Synology will provide an error message which states that the LACP LAG cannot be created. No worries, this will be fixed automagically after…

Hyper-V and PFsense with Vlans
Making a mental note, here. I’ve tried visualizing PFsense multiple times in the past with mostly failures. The reason being is Hyper-V and VLANS. I assumed by default a vSwitch would pass all traffic. By default this doesn’t seem to be the case. You must setup your vSwitch correctly. Here is the command i used that worked.
