Unifi Teleport (lemmy.world)

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.

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.
