    Upside-down camera playback is crazy

    Right click on the playback video and select 360 degree de-warp, and then select No. It looks like you inadvertently have Panoramic selected.

    NAS Drive

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Thanks for the quick response. Yeah, I can open the *.ovpn file with notepad. I can see the "Certificate". There's some text: ------BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- and then there's lines and lines of (not) random characters.... later there's a -----END CERTIFICATE----- followed by ------BEGIN PRIVATE...
