Would love to see Site Magic deep dive. Especially locking down access to specific parts of another Unifi network - or even routing specific devices only through it if possible.

I really enjoyed this walkthrough, I'd like to see more videos going in-depth on specific use-cases, such as secure ways to setup VPN server and allow my smart phone to remotely access Protect cameras via the app. Something like that. Is there already such a video?

I'd be interested to know if "Site Magic" is totally within your control or if you are entrusting UniFi Cloud, a bit like in a typical ZeroTier setup where you generally still entrust their servers for adding nodes to the network etc.

Just an old tech addict getting crazy with my home. I recently added the UDM-SE. I started using Ubiquiti APs about 8 years ago .. now getting crazy and learning. Thanks for these great videos.

I have seen a few videos which focus on the LAN IN rules to manage inter-vlan traffic ... my question is ... should you use LAN OUT rules too? I'd love to see a video which talks about typical use cases for LAN-IN, LAN-LOCAL, LAN-OUT, etc.

[coltenkrauter]

Love your videos man. Glad that you are going over VPN. I’ve been doing some VPN set up in the last year and an overview would be fantastic.

Keep up the great work!

[jetblast]

Awesome, thanks for the information. I'm currently building the Ethernet and wireless network at my 5 acre property; watching your videos has been instrumental in learning how to configure things properly. Keep it up!

Question on the firewall rules for Teleport VPN. Current when I use Teleport VPN on my iPhone and it can ping device on any vlan. I have the rule the block traffic between vlan. Above this rule I have rule for allow established and related and allow default lan to anywhere (setup following one of your guides). I have to pause both of these rules to stop pings from the Teleport VPN device. Any idea why?

Thanks for this video! I went through my settings and saw I didn't have the same options as you and realized my Unifi dream machine wasn't updating!

A site magic video on how to make multiple locations all appear to be one location, for services like Netflix, would be amazing.

[joshuadavis]

I'm just seeing the Starwars stand for the DreamMachine... Any chance you would share a link for where it came from? :)

[preacherplays]

This was excellent. Thank you! I certainly hope you will do the site magic version too!

[kjriess]

Yes, please do some Site Magic videos! Thanks!

[jdabramson]

Do you have to turn on port boarding for the native VPN servers? i.e. you have to go to Port forwarding and turn on 51820 to the UDM server IP.

[chrisgauci]

Awesome content. Can you do a video showing the setup on udm for an iptv please? IPTV works on the UDM but some specific movies/series do not. When UDM is bypassed these then work. This is some sort of setting which I am not aware of.

[RealLordy]

Hi, I have a a question: is teleport VPN working over double NAT? My telco provider modem does not allow my UDM Pro to have public IP (modem has the public IP)?

[MH-evwr]

Your videos are so awesome. Very well presented, very easy to follow. You explain things in layman's terms, too, so a newbie like me can understand and follow.

[Chris...S]

What Chris forgot to mention is not all the VPN options are available on a USG

[tramcrazy]

Yes, would love the Site Magic video!

[DavidSkok]

Please do make a video on how to connect multiple sites using Site Manager, and in that video, please cover how a device at one site can talk to devices at the other site. I'm expecting that they will not be able to see each other without doing something. (Would you need to set different IP address ranges for each site to avoid having duplicates?)
