Hi, so been working on this for a week but not really happy with the solutions I find as they seem to be done by induviduals who rely heavily on ai. I got wireguard easy going and can remotly connect which is great but id love to be able to route any internet traffic to and from the wireguard clients to go though another server while filtering my local onsite services. Felt that if i can crack this i dont need to rely on tailscale. The end goal is to have no reliance on tailscale as i am preparing for the eventual enshitification.

    Yeah only if you enable their cloud api and dont randomise your web interface port. Both of which i do. I have also pen tested my router remotley. Also i have a router not a router wifi combo. Its not an isp or consumer router. Router splits to poe switcher and a wifi ap puck.

      randomise your web interface port

      Randomized interface ports change nothing except for stopping automated scanners. They don’t really help. Just lock it behind ssh, physical access or similar, and then never worry about it again.

      Yeah only if you enable their cloud api

      No, all of the local web interfaces have had problems too. Literally every router or network appliance has had similar issues.

      ts not an isp or consumer router

      ISP, consumer, and enterprise routers have all the same issues due to the same architecture. All of them.

      have also pen tested my router remotley.

      Me too. But it’s just not about my router being secure today, it’s about it being secure tomorrow. I want to be able to rest easy knowing that if a new vulnerability appears in xyz component then I don’t have to worry about it.

          Im very much aware of the cves out on tplink and the one you showed i patched months ago and hardened to recommendation to the rest. Nothings perfect but when you look at security flaws beyween cisco ubiquity and tplink ill go for tp link even tho they are missing some useful features. Im not corperate fan girl but how dead set some ubiquity users are it makes me a bit weary. If i was doing it all again and not buying on a budget id setup my own pfsense.
