I have to believe this is basic and covered extensively, and I've searched, but I can't seem to find an answer... and, I'm not exactly well versed in things networking (but trying to learn).
How do I know if my NVR is secure from the internet - nothing in or out?
I have all the cameras plugged into the POE ports and they're in their own network (10.10.X.X). The NVR is plugged into my router and is a different IP range.
I didn't (knowingly) enable any of the network options on the NVR (PPPoE, DDNS, etc).
When away from home, I access the cameras via OpenVPN (running on a pfSense box).
I setup a firewall rule to block the static IP for the NVR so it can't reach outside my LAN. At least, I think/hope I did it correctly. I'm still trying to learn pfSense too...
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Skip
