Demystifying the Ubiquiti Cloud access
-
I have been reading that setting up your own Unifi Cloud Controller or a Ubiquiti Cloud Key local and connecting to the Cloud Access you need to open the ports of your controller externally. I went ahead and setup a Unifi Controller internally without opening ports externally.
Setting up the Controller
### Add the Ubiquiti Sources sudo echo 'deb http://www.ubnt.com/downloads/unifi/debian stable ubiquiti' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/100-ubnt-unifi.list #### Add the key sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 06E85760C0A52C50 ### Update the Repository sudo apt-get update ### Install Ubiquiti Unifi sudo apt-get install unifiSetup your Controller and enable Cloud access
Check the connection through the Cloud Access Interface
LOGIN: https://unifi.ubnt.com
Then press Launch and it will be using WebRTC to connect
Now check the connection list in the Ubuntu Server

You hear this because it was not there at launch.
Now you have a drop down menu that defaults to WebRTC.

And WebRTC is not as fast.

Yes, cloud is the default. Sometimes it can be slow as you note.
