How risky it is for the network system (using ddns)? I believe that your ip is now easier to be exposed - but what is its consequences?

My router has a vpn configuration. As I want to add a backup wan to my router (a modem stick), I believe I need to use a DDNS, to be able to reach my router. I wonder if using ddns (dynamic dns) together with the vpn is safe?

Hi, I want to add a backup WAN to my VPN router (there is a dedicated usb for that). The WAN is of a different ISP (it is a cellular modem stick LTE). Currently I'm using a static IP (router has a VPN tunnel). I believe I must have a dynamic dns for backup to work - right? How secure (safe) is...

Hi, I just want to be sure.. Is there a new firmware for IPC-T5442TM-AS ? I saw this file: General_IPC-HX5XXX-Volt_MultiLang_PN_Stream3_V2.840.0000000.25.R.230425.bin It is from: 18-Jul-2023 I believe i can update IPC-T5442TM LED as well (though it is IR firmware)?

By the way, which of the vpn protocols are considered to be fast? I'm using an openVPN and the speed is dramatically dropped down in compare to not having a vpn. i get about 1 Giga bit/sec (from ISP) on each side (client and remote server) and when i connect the client via a vpn, the speed is...

On my phone, I have a DMSS app. I've added a device by its local ip (since i'm connected through a vpn). When i'm connected through the vpn, i can see the video content as well as the push notifications. When the vpn is down i can still get the push notifications, though i've added the device by...

I believe i have turned it off (i'll check it later). Just to understand; the push notifications are sent to some server (probably of Dahua), and then reached to my phone - is it correct?

Hi, i'm using a vpn to get my video content remotely. I'm also using push notifications to get the alerts. Does it means that it uses P2P? As far as i understand push notifications are one direction - from my vpn router to outside. Does push notifications consider to have vulnerabilities?

Yes, they do provide it (a list). Their router gives them an indication about the connectivity, but I can't use it with my private VPN router (it doesn't have 'disable NAT' - I believe nor their router). Also, I'm not sure how to configure them to work together.

It provides a router (others do provide ont). One should buy the ont independently.

Well, it is actually consider to be an ONU device (i'm not familiar with the difference in compare to ONT). ISP fiber -> ONU -> VPN router I wonder about the vulnerability of using it. Now, I'm using a DSL router which functions as a bridge to my vpn router.

Hi, I use a dsl infrastructure for my network. I'm considering of moving to fiber infrastructure. Thus i need to replace my bridge roter to a media converter. Now: ISP dsl -> bridge -> vpn router. After: ISP fiber -> media converter -> vpn router. I'm considering of buying a cheap media...

I'm using a Tp-Link Omada ER605 V2 router. I've defined there a vpn and I don't use a controller.

but traffic can go between different ports of the home router as it functions as a switch.

I'm not sure, that i've described the issue correctly. My configuration should look like that: Wan -> (in) router1 Router1 (port1) -> vpn-router Now, if there are other devices which are connected to the other ports of router. Can their traffic go through the vpn tunnel (at the vpn router)...
