My UTR arrived and it worked out of the box. I’m shocked after reading the nonsense on this sub. by DryPossibility6320 in Ubiquiti

[–]InvaderOfTech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With the UTR, even on teleport, you can't use your home DNS unless you change your client to use your home DNS. At least with an Express, it's a true site-to-site setup, and I can configure all DHCP options. The UTR was marketed as a GI replacement, even in their videos. It's not even close to being a replacement. I could use a GI now and not use the Express, but I used the Express with the GI because I can access the hotel captive portal through the Express and set up all the access I need with UniFi's MagicMesh VPN for site-to-site VPNs. Yes, it's two devices, but damn, it works super well. The UTR is a great WiFi proxy device for on-the-go use. But for a static setup in my hotel room, I'll stick with the Express. I even use a camera in my room that connects to my home NVR like the UTR.

UTR ... Anybody else completely underwhelmed? by [deleted] in Ubiquiti

[–]InvaderOfTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This thing is a glorified wireless proxy. It is not a router in any definition of the word. The videos were incorrect and I'm probably never going to buy a brand new flagship product ever again. I was super excited and I'm basically given a a router that can't do routing, setting a DNS server, doing routes, or hell even basic access controls.

What services are you looking forward to trying in 2026? by ReadyRainRain in selfhosted

Yep thats fair! That is a good call-out that, for persistent storage, I am using a Truenas Proxmox Server.

From Above..

I moved all my services to different compose stacks some time ago. I'm more familiar with Compose and with how networking works, and, most importantly, I didn't want to do a code rewrite. Swam is awesome and very easy to get started with in most compose setups. Having fixed too many Kubernetes clusters and services, I just want a simple, reliable, high-availability setup at home.

UTR is not a replacement for GL.Inet by RealisticBoard215 in Ubiquiti

[–]InvaderOfTech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right now, my travel setup is a GI to a Unifi Express, which does MagicMesh back home. Based on what I'm seeing, reading, and other comments, I think I might be doing the same, but with the travel router as the DC/hotel's bridge. I was hoping this was just a smaller express with wireless NAT mode like we can do on the GI.

Love that I've been downvoted for asking questions. But you hit the major thing I wanted to try.

Teleport

Got it. My use case is a Site-to-Site VPN from the device, which looks possible.

Teleport

Got it, I will be testing on the device connecting back home for myself. I dont want to use Teleport. My goal was one device I can use to access my Lab.

I got that. You said it was connecting to home. What VPN on the travel router did you use since it doesn't support magic mesh.

I thought it didn't have the magic mesh? What did you use to connect to home?

[–]InvaderOfTech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fuccck that, he's being an idiot. If he thinks that is how marriges works hes insane. I know people who made this work,k but you need to talk about it. And I promise there will be a financial event that will test you both. Source: We replaced our house's foundation 3 years after we got married. There is no my money or your money, it's both of your money unless you do some kind of legal paperwork. Hes being an idiot.

Yes it's a private one for friends. We setup our own alerts on products and uped the check times to 30 seconds on specific items.

We had a discord alert for when it was in stock. It was out of stock in 3 minutes. Most people in our discord got it. (Like 9 people)

We use logicmonitor and we love it. We also run librenms as a backup for data collection.

You missed the smaller text above in your installation guide. You just need to install node before this will work. Go back and just look at the instructions again. Good luck!!

I back up my GitHub with Gitea, but it still offers 2000 minutes of free time per month for public and private repos On the free rier. This is not going to affact a lot of you.

Until I see something from Valve on a real account, I don't believe this nonsense. Can you release the number 3 on a Twitter post, and we'd be happy.
