Teleport is a zero configuration VPN server found in the Teleport & VPN section of your Network application that allows you to instantly connect to the UniFi network from a remote location.
Requirements
- A Next-Gen UniFi gateway or UniFi OS Console with an integrated Next-Gen gateway.
How does it work?
After enabling Teleport, generate an invitation and share it with your desired recipient. Depending if the recipient has the WiFiman mobile app installed, the invitation will automatically add the VPN or prompts to install the (iOS / Android) app.
Once the recipient has set up the Teleport VPN, they can easily remotely access the UniFi network at any time.
Note: The invitation expires in 24 hours and can only be utilized by a single device at a time.
Can I Revoke Access?
In case the invitation is still pending, it can be revoked by viewing the Teleport Invitation History. If the invitation has already been accepted by the recipient, access can be revoked by viewing the Teleport client in the Client Devices section.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Teleport secure, and does it track my data?
Teleport uses the Wireguard VPN to encrypt your traffic and secure remote access connections. Your data is not stored by Teleport. |
2. How does Teleport compare with other VPNs, and can you use them simultaneously?
Teleport’s Wireguard integration allows it to deliver higher throughput than traditional VPNs. Teleport doesn’t reserve addresses/ports and can be used alongside other VPNs. |
3. Can Teleport be used when the UniFi gateway is behind NAT?
Yes. Unlike traditional VPNs such as L2TP which encounter issues when behind NAT, Teleport can be used when both the UniFi gateway and client are behind NAT. |
4. Can Teleport be used on desktop or laptop clients?
It is possible if the desktop or laptop client supports running mobile apps. Apple macOS devices with the M1 chip or newer are able to run iOS apps and can use WiFiman with Teleport. |
