If the USG is behind a NAT device, you must add a custom configuration to force it to use the source IP.
Download custom config file here. If your WAN interface is not eth0, modify file as needed.
Place config file in /srv/unifi/data/sites/default/ if this is the default site. Otherwise it must go into the site folder for the site.
