I've successfully setup my VPN, but the default Lorex app doesn't have options to use it. Is there an alternative app I can use to access my NVR via VPN?

If VPN is properly setup, your Lorex app wouldn't know the difference.
You would start your VPN client on your phone, then the lorex app would use the local IP to connect.
IE: the same IP that you would use at home while on WIFI.
To be clear, don't use the VPN when at home on your WIFI local network.
Only when away from home.
How did you setup VPN?
Did you use OPEN VPN?
More info needed.

I setup the VPN on my QNAP NAS. I used OpenVPN. The VPN works fine. The Lorex app works fine, but there's only an option to use my Lorex online account. I'm presuming regardless if I'm using the VPN or not, it's going out to Lorex and back in as there's no options for me to setup the IP of the NVR within' the app itself. Other than a username and password for the app, I've not found any options at all.
