SSH over Teleport via an Android Intermediary Throughout the course of future experiments, I had Teleport as a fall-back to be able to SSH into the UDM network and configure the gateway as well as machines local to that network. The Teleport feature did end up serving me well beyond the attempt, though. After a fruitless couple of days, I gave up completely on this approach. Either the Teleport feature in the WiFiman app was not available for the old Android version, or, the connection proved to be extremely unstable. Unfortunately, except for my Pixel 6a, none of the Android devices at my disposal (I even tried setting up an old NUC with Bliss OS) could help in this aspect. In the first few days of grappling with CGNAT, I attempted to set up a dedicated Android device to act as a Teleport client for other devices in the US to connect to. In my case, this was not a show-stopper, as the UDM automatically took care of enabling seamless communication between the primary 172.16.0.0/24 subnet and the VPN subnet. The Teleport functionality in the UDM currently forces the invited device into the 192.168.2.0/24 network. Upon accepting the invite in the app, the connection is available for activation as long as the source gateway (UDM in this case) has a connection to the Internet. The advantage of using the Android app to generate the invite link is the ability to directly open it with the WiFiman app to get into the target network.

Teleport Invite Generation using Cloud Management / Local Web UI Fixing this manually allowed the remote access feature in the controller to be activated.Įnabling WiFiman is done in the System section of the Network application.Īfter taking care of these two aspects, Teleport invites can be generated under the 'Teleport & VPN' section of the web UI as well as the mobile application. It turned out that the inability of the unit to communicate with the default NTP servers from behind the CGNAT had resulted in the date / time of the unit being set based on the firmware build date. However, it was not visible either in the mobile app or the cloud-based management portal as remote access was disabled (and couldn't be activated despite repeated attempts). After recovery, the UDM was accessible over the local network and Internet access worked. The unit had to be resuscitated via the recovery IP using a firmware image downloaded offline. In my case, one of the power failures ended up corrupting the UDM - Internet access from within the network worked, but the web UI was inaccessible, SSH attempts timed out, and Teleport would simply give up. While this is straightforward enough for most setups, there are certain situations that trip up this flow.
Activating this feature requires remote access to be enabled on the controller followed by Wifiman in the Network application. Ubiquiti recommends Teleport for VPN purposes in the UniFi Dream Machine.
