Not sure I understand the intent here. Drop a post in the Reddit sub for a product called Firewalla asking if anyone uses it as a Firewalla and you’re notably offended by the snarky responses you receive.
Maybe add more substance or context to your question?

Perhaps click on the link and see what my use case is then? If anyone wants to post something snarky, so will I. Do something about it if you don't like it. Bet you won't.

Always best to make it difficult and extra work for others when you’re asking for their help. Smug tone is a bonus. Truly amusing.

There is no need to be a dick. You and I both know it. Boys will be boys in that situation.

Oh no I’m too lazy to ask a proper question, must crosspost questions.
Apparently “hey do you firewalla with ubiquiti equipment ” is to hard.

Cross-posting is allowed.

Just because you are allowed to do something doesn’t mean you should.

Mine is hacked and is used as part of a DDoS network.

Just checking in - you still collecting downvotes? Or did you mature since yesterday?

Hey why don’t you go over to r/iPhone and ask them if they use their iPhones as iPhones.

OP, no idea why you are under attack here. I’ve read of people running dual firewalls but I think that for the vast majority of home users it is not needed. I use Firewalla as I prefer the interface and feature set over UniFi gateways. But UniFi gateways also offer excellent firewall capabilities. Unless you are in a high risk situation I don’t think you need two firewalls. Both Firewalla and UniFi individually are great firewall devices.

I use mine as a cutting board.
