    Our services uses WireGuard, which should be supported on your UDM with some third party tools, if you wanted to run the VPN client straight on your router. https://github.com/tusc/wireguard Otherwise, you can run the WireGuard VPN

    It can but not natively. See https://github.com/tusc/wireguard and https://github.com/peacey/split-vpn

    I see there is some documentation for doing Wireguard on the UDM Pro specifically but didn’t look much into whether it’s geared towards client ir server configs (or both) - found that here but there are a few other resources out there

  • Can you set dns for second up addresses
    1 project | /r/UNIFI | 11 Aug 2022
    Turns out on the UDM line, if you can't manage it in the UI, then you can't mange it (no support for config.gateway.json). In this case I'm pretty sure you're out of luck in the UI. There are some scripts out there you can find to do this, but the records may not survive reboots and/or firmware upgrades. https://github.com/evaneaston/udm-host-records
  • Files not visible through ssh
    1 project | /r/Ubiquiti | 16 Mar 2022
    Hi Everyone, first time post here. I have searched and searched but I am just at a loss. Maybe I am just a noob (most likely) but I am adding some scripts to my UDM to get around not having static DNS entries as an option. Walkthrough and scripts here... https://github.com/evaneaston/udm-host-records
  • UDM pro DN / Domain name - how to set it???
    1 project | /r/Ubiquiti | 19 Feb 2022
    If you don't want to use a reverse proxy server, then you can also do it by adding the host records to the DNS server on the UDM (can't do it through GUI, have to do it in SSH). You can use the udm-host-records to do that, or just modify the dnsmasq files manually if you're familiar with dnsmasq and Linux. I would say this isn't as elegant of a solution as the reverse proxy.
