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

Just purchased a home with these cameras, steps needed to use them?

Can you tell us how your internet/wifi works and equipment you have for them? If you want to consolidate your internet router/wifi/cameras, you can buy the Unifi Dream Machine (UDM), Unifi WiFi APs, and a hard drive to store the recordings within the UDM. Figure out how to power them over the ethern

Is there a modern equivalent to what we have?

Why not a modern ubiquiti stack? For sfp you need ucg-fibre or udr7 and add AP's. Maybe a switch in between also. Depends if you want cameras, doorbells or other stuff like that. Maybe would make sense to build a rack with udm-pro, a switch and backup power + ap's

Purchase suggestions

Go with the U7 Pro XG instead of the Pro. Get the UCG Fiber instead of the UDM SE. If you are going to use protect get Ubiquiti cameras for the best integration. If AI detection is your priority, and you feel Ubiquiti doesn’t do it for you, don’t use protect or Ubiquiti cameras. Choose another manuf

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
