Comment on Unifi Teleport

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.

So you are using Wireguard instead of teleport?

I am, though I’m not using unifi.
Teleport is just Wireguard with unifi stacked on top. You can just export the config and its literally a Wireguard connection. Unifi Teleport is just using their online services to replace a step.
But teleport (which is Wireguard under the hood) is not meant for an always-on connection, its meant for ad-hoc connections.
So if you want always on, export the config and run it as a Wireguard tunnel. Its exactly the same service, running on exactly the same device, without using wifiman and allowing for an always on VPN.
