Unifi sites taken down by a hardcoded link to a master branch file (ui.com)

Unifi has a "DNS shield" feature with non-customizable config pointing directly to a file of a project which does not use tags nor automatic content validations: https://github.com/DNSCrypt/dnscrypt-resolvers/issues/944

As a result, hundreds of networks were taken down. For 72 hours because Unifi didn't override the default refresh interval.


unify is so meme.

i bought into it thanks to their extremely aggressive marketing on reddit. one look at their controller and ap image and i was shocked i feel for such low tier scam.

stuck on old java (and that was when 8 was the bleeding edge). outdated mongo build. undocumented protocols everywhere. centralized passwords and backdoors.
