UniFi Dream Router 7 vs Asus RT-BE88U

[Tech9]

it is blocking something

Information in Network Application about what was blocked can be found in Insights menu, Flows tab. It can be sorted by Low, Suspicious, Concerning risk level and the result shows the Policy and Policy Type involved. The default display includes auto-created Ad Blocking Policy when ad-blocking is enabled in Settings, Security menu, Protection tab. It's not IDS/IPS only blocking things.

The example above is from Ad Blocking Policy.

So, my thoughts and what I use personally:
Security and parental control:
All kids devices are behind private DNS profile based on NextDNS. All others are on another NextDNS profile set via dnscrypt on router level. That router wide settings is more than enough to cut out most of the ads. I never used any "router" ad blocking. Had a wish to buy Asus's BE19000AI but, you know, its still not in shops...
As per network security in total I have 3 open to internet apps (a number of ports): for torrent seeding, WG server and Plex. Time after time I see something tries to reach them and it blocked on UDR. I know where to find the Flows BTW.

And about BE88, it's still not set, I hope we finish with that later this week. Got troubles with stupid ISP: they say be88 sfp+ will not work with their gpon.... so that we postponed setup a little bit.
