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

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

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.

Meraki Firewall Alternatives for Small Locations?

+1 for Ubiquiti. There is plenty there gear can't do, but 99% of it is plug-and-play, performant, and reliable. The orgs I work for have plenty of cash to throw around, and we're still opting to roll Unifi gear where we were previously deploying Meraki.I have Ubiquiti (UDM Pro) at home and colo, and

UDM Pro Max vs. Cloud Gateway Fiber

I’ll chime in as someone who is actively transitioning fully to ubiquiti. Just got ATT fiber to my home, so I went with the Cloud Gateway Fiber. I originally planned to “ball out” and go enterprise grade everything, but went with a smaller form factor to minimize its footprint. And I knew I wouldn’t

What are the chances Ubiquiti will add their full suite: protect, access, conenct etc to UniFi OS Server?

If you are concerned about remote access, you can just buy Ubiquiti hardware that can host those apps like a UDM Pro Max or UNVR, run all of those apps on it, Kill their internet connection, and use a VPN to access so its local only. You can turn off their remote access features like site manager. A

unifi or not to unifi

ngl for 6700sqft retail you're on the right track. i'd swap the G6 APs for U6 Pros or U7 Pros - better value and plenty for retail traffic. the Dream Machine + separate NVR adds cost; you could start with a UDM Pro or SE which has built-in NVR for up to 12 cameras. 29 cameras total is a lot for a re

Gateway suggestions?

You believe the UDM SE is overkill but the UCG Fiber is not? If you are simply looking for new hardware I would say get the UCG Fiber. It’s a very capable device that may be on par with the UDM devices. Maybe better because of the updated internals.. Don’t let the small footprint fool you. As far as

UDM-Max vs UCG-Fiber + UNVR? Thoughts?

If you are talking about the dream machine pro max IPS on it is 5gbps just the same and the UCG-Fiber so in that aspect it is identical. The pro max would be for a larger deployment where you have more UniFi devices and end users. Also with the pro max you can run from protect directly out of it so

My $0.02: Look for Fiber over copper cable for the shed uplink; it is future-proof. If you have the budget (pricing is reasonable), you can order pre-fabricated custom-length fiber cables (no splicing required) https://www.fs.com/products/29606.html?attribute=1263&id=1099185. Both UDMSE and Flex sup
