UniFi VPN Management#

1 OpenVPN#

1.1 Client Profile#

The verified iPhone client uses OpenVPN Connect with these settings:

  • Profile name: marcoue.ddns.net [OpenVPN Server]
  • Server hostname: marcoue.ddns.net
  • Username: marcoue
  • Password: Saved in the OpenVPN client; do not document it here.
  • DDNS provider: No-IP (ddns.net)

The profile uses the hostname rather than a fixed IP, so the iPhone profile normally does not need to be edited when the ISP address changes.

The OpenVPN listening port and the exact UniFi port-forward rule were not captured in the available documentation. Verify those values in the UniFi Network application if the VPN still fails after DNS is corrected.
