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.

    There’s also an option to set up a vanilla WireGuard server. I’ve done that on my dream machine and am able to remote into my homelab with the vanilla WireGuard iOS & Mac apps

      Same. It works great. I can set the ip address and dns. Unlike Teleport. Nothing wrong with teleport outside of those two things.

    Unifi teleport is a Wireguard VPN.

    If you want to access your internal devices/services from elsewhere, and dont require public internet access, yes, this is perfectly fine.

    Traefik (and other proxy tools) are generally used for public internet based access, not VPN.

      My big paranoia is setting up Internet accessible services, I am an idiot…I know this. So if I don’t need to expose things to the internet I don’t want to. Generally all my services are just for me and I am on my local network pretty much all the time. My mobile device is where the issue lies. Not sure if you can run teleport all the time and if that is a good idea.

        If you want it to run all the time, I’d export the config file and use Wireguard tunnel rather than wifiman for teleport.

        VPN only access for just you is a perfectly appropriate solution.

          This is what I do. It’s under settings > VPN > VPN server.

          Then on my phone I run Tasker to auto connect to my VPN when it disconnects from home wifi.

    This is the first time I heard of it, so I’m going to read up. I set up openvpn on my NAS, ensured only the one port is open, and connect to the vpn when I need to access my local network.

    Inside, I configured a DAVX volume and use DAVx5 on the phone for file transfer. The vpn uses a certificate and pwd for auth.

    I have KDE Connect as well.
