I am slowly setting up my home environment. I was looking at ways to access my services from my mobile device. I know a lot of folks set up Traefik but I have a Unifi System and that has Teleport. I have tested it on my mobile device and I can connect to local devices that are not opened to the internet. I am curious if people have used this as an alternative and how it worked out.
Since I already have the Unfi system I was hoping this could work for me so I don’t need to mess with anything else.
So you are using Wireguard instead of teleport?
I am, though I’m not using unifi.
Teleport is just Wireguard with unifi stacked on top. You can just export the config and its literally a Wireguard connection. Unifi Teleport is just using their online services to replace a step.
But teleport (which is Wireguard under the hood) is not meant for an always-on connection, its meant for ad-hoc connections.
So if you want always on, export the config and run it as a Wireguard tunnel. Its exactly the same service, running on exactly the same device, without using wifiman and allowing for an always on VPN.
I am pretty smooth brained so apologies for the questions. You are setting up the wireguard on a separate server or on the Unif device itself?
My setup doesnt matter, I don’t use Unifi for my main home infra.
You can use the Unifi device itself. Teleport is just a single click Wireguard service, with no need for port forwarding or additional configuration.
Last I saw it, you can export the config from the browser for use with client devices, you can use that with wireguard tunnel and set it as always on.
