Back to TopUniFi Gateway - Teleport VPN
Teleport is a zero-configuration VPN that allows you to instantly connect to your UniFi network from a remote location. Users with a Next-Gen gateway or UniFi Cloud Gateway running UniFi OS can access it from Network Settings > Teleport & VPN.
How Does it Work?
After enabling Teleport, you can generate an invitation and share it with your desired recipient. If the recipient already has the WiFiman Mobile App (iOS / Android) installed, the invitation will automatically add the VPN to the app. If not, the invitation will prompt the user to install the app. Once installed, the invitation will add the Teleport VPN when it is clicked again.
Once the recipient has accepted the Teleport invitation, they can easily and securely access the UniFi network remotely, at any time.
Note: The invitation expires in 24 hours and can only be utilized by a single device at a time.
