I purchased a Costco Lorex system, ran my cables and installed everything myself. And I am not particularly handy. I also read the VPN Primer for newbs , realized I was incapable of setting up a vpn with my current router so I purchased an Asus router. Port forwarding not activated and upnp deactivated on new Asus.
I was able to set up a VPN connection on my phone thanks to some great tutorials on this forum. Downloaded the Lorex app on my iPhone and expected to have to use the vpn connection to connect when not on wifi. I was able to connect to my nvr via my phone without the vpn , my wife's phone ( no vpn even set up ) and my son's phone (no vpn). All while not on wifi.
The question is....am I secure just using the app without vpn? Or is there setting that is "on" in the nvr that I need to turn off ?
