   * Review the [[https://help.ubnt.com/hc/en-us/articles/218506997-UniFi-Ports-Used|Unifi ports to open]]
     * As of 14 July 2018, add TCP ports 8080, 8443 and UDP 3478 to public/permanent
+      * Also add 8880 if you want guest portal access
     * Note: Enabling Cloud Access and accessing the controller via [[https://unifi.ubnt.com]] instead does not require opening 8443, and is safer since no direct Internet access is permitted to your controller's management.
