Hi

A friend only has LTE available in his area, and plugs his Huawei LTE router into the wan port of his USG. With the USG as his main router he has a complete unifi setup. It seems to be working fine. For Internet the USG gets a static IP on the lan of the LTE router.

Question is, how to solve any double nat issues that may arise, and is there a need to forward all ports on the LTE router so that all the port settings done on the USG will run correctly? Anything else that needs to be done to get the setup done correctly?
Would the USG firewall function correctly with this setup?

Thank you
 
Depends if the LTE router can do a DMZ rule to forward all traffic and the LTE itself isn't stealth NATed,then USG wont even know
 
It's a B525 which does have a DMZ setting, but if there is another device also connected to a lan port of the Huawei as well as his USG, would there be a way to get it to work? So two lan ports connected on the LTE router. One goes to his separate network.

On my 618 you specify the IP address of the device in the DMZ so if he can set a static IP for the USG then this shouldn't be a problem. The other LAN port would then get a different IP address and not be in the DMZ
 
Oh and something else to consider on Telkom is using the 'unrestricted' apn. This takes care of possible double batting that might others ie occur on the standard apns. Rain doesn't have a similar apn so even if you DMZ on their router you're still strict double natter.. Just as fyi
 
So this has been up and running well for the past month.
Now we want to try and setup a VPN (site to site) between work and home.

Would this be possible with double nat and dynamic IPs? Which VPN options would be best for this setup

Unifi to Unifi?
If it is both sides Unifi are they on the same controller?
 
Unifi to unifi, but one's a dream machine pro which is on its own separate controller, can't be adopted to another controller afaik

im no expert but as i understand it if your wan IP is a public IP then you should be okay, whether dynamic/static as there are solutions. if your wan IP is private (CGNAT) then this is where things get complicated.

Do a tracert to see and you should be able to setup something
