      When using Vultr is it just https://unifi.hostname.vultr.com:8443 ?

        If you have a vultr hostname then yes, otherwise you create a DNS record pointing to your Vultr WAN IP.

          Ok, in the meantime I'm trying https://unifi.xx.xx.xx.xx:8443 and not getting anything. Shouldn't that work?

            It should as long as Unifi service is started, ports listening internally and Vultr fireewall allowing it.

              What is the result of the following:

                          Also your Vultr firewall should have the following ports open:

                                    Thought I was okay, but can't log in using http, just https.

                                    It's causing a problem when I try to set the AP's to look to the vultr IP for the controller.

                                      You only login through https, your manually register the APs via port 8080.

                                          typed:
                                          mca-cli
                                          set-inform http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8080/inform

                                          Then
