They did add back non-cloud support a while ago after the cloud forcing didn't go over well, but it is a second-class experience.

The day after I set my UDM Pro up as non-cloud, it corrupted the login somehow and I had to factory reset it and redo all settings (as it hadn't been running long enough to run any automatic backups first). I capitulated and just set it up again as a cloud login to avoid having the same fiasco at some random point in the future again.

I immediately regretted going with the UDM to save (quite) a few bucks over a OPNsense/pfSense appliance to fit my requirement of handling a full 10G of WAN.

I will admit having the app to monitor usage remotely is a somewhat neat trick. I find the firewall configuration in GUI obtuse enough to be next to unusable.

As someone who bit the bullet and sold all their UniFi gear on eBay and switched to OPNsense and Ruckus, I'll tell you that it's been absolutely worth it.
