As it says in the title really. I would like to know if it is possible to replicate the functionality of something like NordVPN and have Unifi spoof my location.
The reason is to avoid having to pay unnecessary subscription costs and be able to access content in other geo locations
What subscription costs are you trying to avoid? Even if it were possible to run a VPN on the UDR, it would still need a server to connect to and that’s what you’re paying for with service such as NordVPN.
You could rent your own VPS etc but you’d still be paying for it with less flexibility.
Not directly, not yet at least but you can build (RPi) or buy (Netgate) a cheap pfsense node to run an always-on-VPN and place it between your WAN router and the UDM.
There may be other open source routing/firewall packages out there that will do the same but I know it’s possible with pfsense and a NordVPN account.
Had a buddy who put Docker on his UDM, so theoretically it might be possible run a pfsense container if they built an image for it.
You can spoof your location to appear as if you are home, but not other locations without something else in the mix. Useful while you are traveling.
You can definitely run a VPN such as nord on a UDR. You need a nord subscription. And to download the open vpn file for the country that you want to vpn to
I don’t know if the feature is in general release software. But it’s been a feature of EA for around 6 months now.
Fair point. There are a number of config scenarios for the physical design, but I’d probably still design it logically with the VPN router on the “outside” and use VLANs to segregate traffic to transit the VPN or not. This way you can still centralize and manage the bulk of the networking services on the UDM.
Interesting, sounds a little bit more effort than I am willing to put in at the moment haha but thanks for the information
It’s in 3.0 isn’t it?
