Agreed. I tried Microtik. Seemed like it was written by DOS people from the 70s ...

They run linux and offer ssh but with a custom shell that mirrors the "web shell" in usefulness.

Ubiquiti sucks nowadays but Microtik is simply insane.

That feels like DOS with short character limits etc. It's attrocious.

Actually the general consensus is that they are amazing. You're in the minority

I'm running OpenBSD on an ER4 as my firewall.

Can't do that on more recent Ubiquiti hardware. Your boos don't bother me, I've seen what makes you cheer!

DOS was easy.
