I have the Unifi Controller setup as a jail on my FreeNAS server that is controlling my AP-AC-Lite. I can use the app (iOS) for local connections to manage my network, but I can't access it outside of the network on my phone or computer. When I go to unifi.ubnt.com on my laptop, I can see my AP listed, but I cant manage it outside of the local IP.
