    Recording to mac via web browser

    How do I confirm VPN is working?

    With NoloC help, we confirmed that i have no ports forwarded. Is it possible there is an on-off switch somewhere that could be on? Assuming "no" or it does not matter as long as nothing is forwarded... Then my VPN is NOT WORKING because I can't get to the log-in page of any of the 3 cameras...
