Anybody experience issues with the Ubiquiti Unifi Teleport feature? Making the connection back to the network is no issue. Connects fine. Issue it that it puts my computer in the wrong network. My home network is 192.168.8.X. Teleport function connects me in on a 192.168.2.X network. Went into the network adapter settings to manually put it in the right network but that doesn't work. Still can't see anything on my home network. Any ideas?

As far as I know, Teleport isn't supposed to require such configuration. Are you sure your 192.168.8.X resources are not accessible while connected to it? With most VPNs they don't actually give you an IP address in the range you might expect. Instead they add rules to your OS's routing table telling it to access your remote LAN via a certain gateway address (likely 192.168.2.1 in your case).

I am able to ping the devices and seems I am able to go in a browser and get to the NAS login page. I am not able to add the NAS as a network drive under windows. It is not able to see it. I noticed that any discovery tool for my cameras are not able to find anything. I can only access IF I know the actual IP address. For the camera equipment it is find but trying to access a NAS drive under a browser only is a pain in the butt trying to access and transfer files.
 
I don't know about making the network drive work through the VPN but are you trying \\192.168.8.x\ in an address bar in Windows or are you trying to use it via a machine name or some kind of autodiscovery? Unfortunately since it is not giving you an IP in your home network's range, broadcast traffic wouldn't go through the VPN (which is what a discovery tool would typically use). And likewise the remote machine names are likely not known to the VPN client.
