Conclusion
If you’re looking for a way to make your system more secure, the Unifi devices are an excellent option. These networked appliances run on Linux and most commands available through their controller software should work with them (press Tab twice when prompted for input). However, keep in mind that any changes made directly at the device level will not take effect unless trunking is enabled; otherwise known as tunneling or bridging mode – this can be done via shell access from outside sources like laptops sitting next door!
