Does Teleport actually work?

Ignore Teleport, Ubiquiti already provides you with a much better native VPN option - just use the built-in Identity Endpoint service which includes Wireguard. I was also struggling to get Teleport working, until someone pointed me towards Unifi Identity Endpoint's Wireguard VPN. Free (for <50 users

I've been running the UDM Beasts at DPC technology. Here's my review...

Clay... thanks for the reply and sorry if I get caught up in my little bubble of Ubiquiti gear/fanaticism/obsession. I'd say that testing of items such IDS and IPS throughput across devices would be helpful. For example, the UCG-Fiber is supposed to smoke the UDM Pro lineup (until the beautiful Beas

New Beast (UDM) !

The UDM Beast has a total of 15 ports in all. The ports are as follows: Two 2.5GbE ports (can be configured as LAN or WAN). Eight 10 GbE ports (one of the 10Gb ports is labeled as a WAN port, but this is configurable as either LAN or WAN). Two 10Gb SFP+ ports (also can be set as LAN or WAN ports). T

Thoughts on The Beast

The main thing I can see is this has two 25gig ports for you core switch connections. A LOT of places still do a route-on-a-stick setup (for simplicity or lack of knowledge) where all inter vlan traffic needs to go back to your firewall/router. On other UDM's this was a huge bottle neck especially i

Mikrotik rb5009 vs ubiquiti

Mikrotik is complicated because of the amount of control it gives to the user.. yes, this means the user can fumble and make configs that suck and hurt performance... I am very happy with by RB5009 because of the control I get over it.My colleague is very happy with their UDM because it's easy. I'd

What router is everyone using?

I’m using a UniFi Dream Machine Pro, it’s about 5 years old but it’s a total beast, but it wasn’t cheap. I wanted something that was part of ecosystem with separate Wi-Fi access points.

Can UniFi EFG make sense at this price point?

UDM Beast is interesting, but at that price I would have expected some next-generation firewall functionality. I understand that it's a wonderful world without any licensing, but there are other vendors.They offer this functionality even though they're much less powerful. It's clear that Ubiquiti de

Which router should I buy? Or any better suggestions

Oh got it. Yes UniFi’s network application has all of those types of features. I started with a UniFi Dream Machine and about a year ago upgraded to the UniFi cloud Gateway Fiber which I absolutely love. If you want a device with a gateway and AP all in one, Dream Router 7 is a good option. If you d

New Construction and new user looking for some thoughts...

The RPS is pretty close to worthless. It is neither a UPS nor power conditioner. Even with a whole home backup generator you still need a UPS to bridge the gap on the transfer time, and it’s best if the UPS is a pure sine wave output to condition the output from the generator (so the Unifi actual UP

Two ISPs using Dream Machine?

Which version of the Dream Machine do you have? If it's any of the Rack Mountable Dream Machines, you can run Dual WAN. I think it's just the original UniFi Dream Router, which isn't capable of Dual WAN. Based on what you've said I would set your Xfinity as the main connection and I'd have the secon
