But do you still get the network traffic stats on the fancy GUI on the unifi network controller?

Thiago,

In following your walkthrough at the below part, I’m stuck on correctly creating the port forwarding rules. I am trying to port forward my Plex Server for remote access however I keep failing. So, I’m not quite sure how to properly fill in the rules on both my UDMP & the pfSense box. I thought I was close but alas..

“The solution for the issues with Double NAT, UPnP and port forwarding is the same: doing a manual port forwarding from the inner router to the outer router. In plain English, this means creating a port forwadring rule from UDM-Pro to the pfSense, so that it allows pfSense and its devices to connect to devices behind the UDM-Pro.”

Could you provide some guidance on this? Or maybe be willing to chat offline to help me get these rules complete so that I can create others in the future.

I would try https://hub.docker.com/r/iamjamestl/unifi-protect and if doesn’t work, selling the UDM Pro and getting a Cloud Key 2 might be an option. Good luck

Ya I need the physical type to get the unifi protect service. I am not sure if the Protect will run on a container. Will need to research more on it.

Do you need the physical controller or do you need a 24/7 controller? I run the unifi controller on a Docker container for my network and it worked really well https://geekistheway.com/2020/11/04/installing-unifi-controller-docker-container-on-synology-nas/

Another alternative is a physical controller without the router such as https://store.ui.com/collections/unifi-accessories/products/unifi-cloudkey

thank you so much for the update. Im thinking of doing that as well but I have the unifi doorbell with me which will need the physical controller.

In reply to Edi. I actually sold my UDM Pro and got a Unifi 24 por switch instead. Now I have the goods from pfsense as router and the goods from Unifi as manager switch. No regrets Dealing with double não for every scenario in the network is just not worth
