Hello all,
I am having trouble setting up the BI mobile app for my iPhone and was hoping to get some advice. When I had port forwarding set up, I was able to access everything. However, due to the security issues listed on forums here, I have removed port forwarding from my router completely. My plan is to utilize VPN when outside of my home, but for now, I am utilizing WiFi which has access to the network in which my BI server sits. Connecting inside of my network is my main concern at this point.
What is the best way to set up the app on my phone now that I am no longer using port forwarding? In addition to the key and the user name/password fields, I have filled out the LAN and WAN fields in the app to match the settings within BI. Since that did not seem to do the trick, I then changed the LAN and WAN addresses in the app to match the LAN field in BI settings, but still no luck. I’ve tried using the remote wizard to create a connection, but that does not work either. I am positive that the LAN is not changing as I have assigned a static IP address within the BI computer/server.
I am probably missing some simple step in the configuration, but could someone advise the correct way to perform the setup for the app?
Thank you!
