To most, OpenVPN is a VPN type of its own.SSL VPN means a VPN accessed by WebGUI to almost all SMB out there.

It's pretty rare to find something that the Ubiquiti VyOS doesn't handle. It's the most advanced router software on the market for a reason.

http://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/definition/SSL-VPNThat's a problem when the main product in the category and most uses of it are different than people define it. Very confusing. OpenVPN is just as much SSL VPN as any other type. And even the term clientless isn't correct, it's just a client that is downloaded on demand.

All very true and all very much a method of VPN access I would never desire on my network.
If the person truly needs VPN access, then I will set up a client and make sure the connection is truly secure.

That was OpenVPN's take on it. They were like "we aren't making this because we are a security company and that's not secure."

Bit off topic.
But I wish Ubiquiti would make non POE managed switches

Company, at end, let me buy the Pfsense.
I'm thinking in this model.

Any other best option ?

If you have the budget, I'd spring for the $2k HA setup. The more features you enable, the slower the firewall can perform, depending on how much traffic you have.

Answer is going to keep being the same, Ubiquiti is better than pfSense.

Why spend $1600 with pfSense to get less than you would get with $190 with Ubiquiti? Why is pfSense even a consideration? What goal is making you look at them?

Can the Ubiquiti handle failover from one to another?
@iroal If the Ubiquiti has all the features you need, then the price will be significantly cheaper than the pfSense setup.

It looks like the Ubiquiti's use VRRP - https://help.ubnt.com/hc/en-us/articles/204962174-EdgeMAX-Virtual-Router-Redundancy-Protocol-VRRP-

And higher quality. pfSense is just FreeBSD with a web interface. Ubiquiti uses VyOS, an actual router OS. Completely different categories of equipment here. pfSense falls below the home line, it's a hobby system. Ubiquiti is enterprise gear.
