    DMZ or Disable NAT on router? (double NAT situation)

    Regarding point 3, i was able to see the BI server only while I was on the ISP’s Wi-Fi subnet 192.168.0 and connected to the OpenVPN server. I wonder if that means it isn’t the firewall then... I will try again tomorrow. Gotta love this stuff! :)

    I must say that I rlly appreciate all your help! But yes they is correct, I cannot see clients located on the subnet 192.168.50 while connect to the OpenVPN server. I read about assigning a static route between VPN’s subnet and the gateway but my understanding is that the ASUS router handles...

    DMZ or Disable NAT on router? (double NAT situation)

    hey Valiant, ISP's lan to the router's WAN is the way that I have it set up. You mention that I would port forward to the OpenVPN WAN IP but I tried this to no avail. I thought that putting the router behind the DMZ of the ISP's router would take away the need to port forward anything to the...

    DMZ or Disable NAT on router? (double NAT situation)

    Thanks for the response, I believe I can turn off the NAT on the router but leave firewall enabled. NAT would be handled by the ISP box. Right now I have my router listed in the DMZ of the ISP modem box with NAT enabled on both. This effectively creates a double NAT regardless. I am noticing...

    DMZ or Disable NAT on router? (double NAT situation)

    thanks for your reply. Unfortunately my ISP allow that either since my cable boxes rely on the ISP’s modem to get their signal. The tech support people basically follow a script when I talk to them and aren’t very helpful for Answering many of my questions.

    DMZ or Disable NAT on router? (double NAT situation)

    Hi all, I bought an ASUS AC86U router because I want to run a VPN server in order to access my network securely. However I had the displeasure to learn that my ISP doesn’t permit their modem/router combo to go into bridge mode. Now my understanding is that I can put the router behind the...

    Hi all, I've tried and failed (twice) to set up an OpenVPN server on my windows 10 machine, along with the corresponding OpenVPN client (using OpenVPN Connect app) on my iPhone.

    instead of running the OpenVPN Server on a router or a Pi, would it be possible to run it off of a BlueIris Windows 10 machine?.. if so, does anyone know a good write up for that?

    Which setting would you choose? see vid

    hi all, I am experiencing night time motion blur on auto shutter setting, and ghosting if choosing the manual exposure setting (1/200). I don't think I can get it much better than these two options. Both can see the license plate at the end of my driveway, yet both have their own distinct...
