I stopped buying Ubiquiti when I reset my UDM Pro and took it to another house without internet access, and it refused to "activate" without an Internet Connection or a phone app connection. Seems they are more interested in selling a lifestyle rather than actual production network equipment.

I stopped buying them when I saw users posting on reddit that they were logging in to their systems and seeing other peoples camera feeds and networks.

Im not excusing Ubiquiti here, I agree thats pretty annoying.

However a UDM pro is a router (as well as other things). The expectation is that it is connected to WAN.

Unifi switches and access points etc do not have the same online requirement.
