Ubiquiti USG Advanced Configuration

Overview

Integrated DNS Overview

When using a USG with Ubiquiti's Unifi Controller software (version 5.6 and earlier), the functionality of integrating the hostnames of clients (when they request a DHCP lease) into local DNS does not appear to work as you would find with Consumer grade routers. To work around this limitation, we can add static host mappings to a configuration file that will be provisioned to the USG when either a configuration change is made or we force provisioning to the USG itself.

Non-GUI Supported Dynamic DNS Providers

I've added in the necessary syntax for adding Cloudflare DDNS to the USG for VPN/Services setup courtesy of this post by britannic on the Ubiquiti Forums.

Routing plex traffic through an SSH tunnel

This guide creates a reverse SSH tunnel to route all Plex server traffic through it.

Step 2 is done on the tunnel, all other steps are done on the plex server.

1. Setup SSH keys (if you already have key based authenthication setup skip to step 2)

On plex server:
