Hi All, Hope you had a good Christmas/enjoying the holidays. So when I say VPN for work changing, we used to use Cisco and Cisco's SSL style of vpn connectivity now we are using Palo Alto Global Protect. So with Cisco we would effectively create a vpn to the firewall then SSL to a desktop in...

Ive put this under chit-chat as it sounds like its more of a generic question. So currently I have an outbound vpn running on my router so that I can access my NVR, however my employer is changing how we access the office when working from home. They want us to use a vpn service to access the...

Well its taken a bit of time but I think I have got almost everything working in a safe and secure manner - but could probably be improved So my setup is now Cisco 877 series xdsl router only for isp connection Cisco 892 connected to 877 this is running nat (my internal network is now all 10...

IGMP is normal

If you were going retail I would not rule out the Netgear GS728 poe switch.

I have an Optiplex 9020 SFF with 2 x SSD drives as my "normal" use computer and an Optiplex 7010 as my NVR running BI again its an SFF but I have 4TB IBM SAS full size drive , 256GB SSD and SAS Controller. The 7010 is 14 inches wide by 16 inches deep by 4 inches tall

So as per original post - All working - Android Phone/Linux Laptop/Windows Laptop (remote not on local lan) - So a huge and I mean huge thank you to all concerned - it is appreciated. And now to this storm I seem to have created - been thinking about it over the past couple of days. The...

Would be interesting to know given that most of us probably look at various reviews to make our decisions on what we buy , for example ASUS (but then what xdsl router is NOT fully or in part made in China ? )make the top 10 on most UK based review sites.

So made another step forward well probably more of a leap at this stage. My router has two places to set DNS. 1. In the LAN Settings 2. In the WAN Settings I had 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 in the LAN settings and automatic for the WAN, as soon as I changed that to manual and put 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 in, the...

Hi, Still getting the exclamation mark . However when I try to ping my new address thats been in place for over 48 hours it does not ping (not surprised) but it does resolve to an ip address that is owned by Vodafone - so a bit closer maybe ?

I believe so , listed on their website is "ASUS DSL-AC55U Firmware version v1.1.2.3_743" and my router shows Firmware Version:1.1.2.3_743

Logged a ticket with ASUS support - they are next to useless and unable to help. Phone VPN works fine using openvpn client so looks like I'm stuck with that.

I have changed it to some random mumbo jumbo - how long should I wait for ?

I looked at the google thing but that suggests you need your own domain (so an additional cost and additional complexity), there doesn't seem to be a "free" DDNS service anymore (yes I know there is but when you look at the domains they offer they dont match what the router supports).

Nope - No multinatting (that I am aware of or can find evidence of). Private lan is normal 192.168.x.x and WAN address is 84.x.x.x I have since read that the asus service is rather unreliable, however I have logged a support ticket with them.

Okay so some success !! I have found the issue with my asus router and fixed that , so I enabled the open vpn server on it and exported the configuration file. Installed open vpn client on my android phone and imported the configuration file and it connected instantly. I could then load the...

Many ISP's allow the use of 3rd party routers "at your risk" that is effectively unsupported. The Vodafone router is a generic grey box - I think its just a "chinese" unit wrapped in a vodafone case. So I either need to replace the Vodafone and Asus routers with something more configurable or...

Hi All, First off thank you everybody for your help thus far, it is appreciated. Unfortunately trying to keep pace/learn technology at 55+ can be very frustrating and somewhat confusing. So unfortunately I have had to stop using my Asus DSL-55U , it appears to have something wrong with it and...

Okay so on "playing" around I realise this is never going to work - given my ability and understanding of how it works. What I am trying to achieve is the ability to view my security camera's/recordings from wherever I am - I will not be able to do this at work (priority as there most of the...

So my ASUS router does support either PPTP or OpenVPN as a server - so thats positive . When I say NVR I'm probably confusing the issue its actually a Dell Optiplex running Blueiris 5 with some big SAS disks. So I enable OpenVPN on my router and then install some sort of client on the Blueiris...

Hi, They are wired (not cellular) and so yes my wan ip address does change. So I understand that I need a VPN (I have another post about this).

So as I have been told in a previous thread - Do NOT use Port Forwarding, however a lot of folks across various forums all say to use Port Forwarding and a VPN. I registered for a VPN (SurfShark) but for the life of me could not get remote access to my NVR ,So I have either completely...

I guess you can sit in one of 2 camps on this - Cisco like all manufacturers regularly release updates to fix bugs, vulnerabilities , performance issues etc. If you are behind a firewall and that is kept on spot then you are probably okay. The other camp is that its a business class device and...

I use Netgear for home and we use a mixture of Netgear/Cisco at work. The Netgear switches are managed via a web gui so no cli knowledge needed. The only thing I would say about Cisco switches is the need to keep them updated - you wont be able to do this with out an account - unless you know...

Sorry for the protracted response - life stuff got in the way. The wan address was made up :-) So all I get is a constant "!"which when I hover over it it says "unable to connect to the internet" - which is incorrect as I am connected. My ISP is Vodafone here in the UK

Apologies if this is not in the correct place , I guess it could also go under networking. I have BI 5 configured for web access. Local Address - 192.168.0.6 Port 88 Wan Address *Edited* I have an ASUS DSL55U and currently have port forwarding enabled, however my wan ip address changes...

Well the bar is open ........drinks all round. Kind of a newb to ip camera's, NVR's and the like. Currently have 4 Reolink RLC410's talking to Blueiris 5 running on top of Windows 10 on a Dell 7020 Optiplex with 250Gb SSD for OS and BI then 2 4TB SAS drives in raid. Working well so far.
