In this video we will talk about UniFi Wireguard VPN which is a fairly new addition for the UniFi Dream Machine and Dream Machine Pro, starting with UniFi OS version 3.0.20
The UniFi Wireguard VPN Implementation is actually spot on. Its so easy to configure, its fairly customizable and most importantly far more secure than the old L2TP based remote access VPN.
While the UniFi Dream Machine Pro SE and the UniFi Dream Router have been enjoying the wireguard VPN option for a while now, the "Classic" UniFi Dream Machine and Dream Machine Pro are only now starting to see this functionality being brought "down".
The UniFi Wireguard VPN is indeed easy to setup and easy to connect to but the most important portion of setting up a VPN server, in my opinion, is security in the form of at least firewall rules. you need to ask yourself, once a client connects to VPN, do i want this client to gain access to the entire network? My assumption is that answer to this question is no.
With UniFi Wireguard VPN or any other VPN server, Firewall rules needs to be placed in order to manage what can and cannot go through your network and we are going to talk about this in this video. Creating firewall rules in UniFi is also easy to do, you just need to be aware you indeed need them.
After watching this UniFi Wireguard VPN video, I highly recommend you watch my video about my method of creating firewall rules in UniFi and the link to this video will be shown in the end screen of this video. Watching that video will give more perspective on what we are doing with firewall rules in this UniFi Wireguard VPN video.
