    Switching from VPN to Port Forwarding.

    Why is it called P2P if there's another server involved? What is the other server involved? Would it be a Dahua server, in my case, if I had used it? Since Dahua is my camera manufacturer. Just asking so I understand what exactly P2P does, even if I'm not using it.

    Trying to get off Port Forwarding Dependency

    Have you tried using the "OpenVPN for android" client from google play instead of "OpenVPN connect" ? After the latest OpenVPN Connect update (version 3.4.1) it startet acting up for me as well, but the other app works fine. With no easy way of downgrading the OpenVPN connect version...

    Trying to get off Port Forwarding Dependency

    ...The attached "OpenVPN Android S24" shows the log for the OpenVPN client on the S24 Android phone. If I go to the Asus router and hit the "Export OpenVPN Configuration file" and install that file on my OpenVPS client software on the phone, it starts working again.. What am I doing wrong here?

    How to get back ui3 w/OpenVPN on Android?

    Your VPN server configuration needs to have a port selected (as noted the default port for OpenVPN is 1194). When you set up the VPN configuration at the client end, you need to use this same port in the setup. (The port would already be included in a "setup" file if you export this type of...

    Router behind Router

    I've been through the VPN for noobs thread, and I think I kind of understand it. I have a second NIC enroute, and am pretty sure OpenVPN is the route I indend to go. So I need a router to host(?) Openvpn. My ISP already provides a wireless router that is the interface with the ONT(I have...

    Searching for a router that has a common DHCP and supports VLAN

    OK, I'll try to be as useful as possible. But this is a very wide situation. I believe that OpenWRT will be opensource and free for the foreseeable future OpenWRT has a GUI called LUCI. It is not part of their snapshot/master builds, but is in all release builds. You can easily build /...

    Switching from VPN to Port Forwarding.

    Good question. Nothing is perfect, but I'd still trust OpenVPN with weak configuration far more than I'd trust the P2P option. With the P2P route, you are letting your NVR connect to someone else's servers and you can't know what kind of risks that opens you up to. There could be...

    Switching from VPN to Port Forwarding.

    I had a VPN set up for my cameras since 2018. However, recently OpenVPN has recently complained that the HMAC Authentication wasn't secure enough. I tried changing it from SHA1 to SHA256, but same error, after exporting the new .opvn file. Next, I tried configuring port forwarding. I did it...

    IP Cam <-> Web server direct connection and integration

    I have 20+ cameras connected by cellular and for some of the live cameras I use the Inhand Networks IR302 modem. It has a built in utility for openVPN and a nice configuration utility with alarms and reporting.

    Cannot get BI android app or UI3 to connect after Synology router upgrade

    I've had a Synology RT2600AC for 5 years with a mesh Mr2200. I have my Blue Iris computer set up with dual NICs, one for internet connection to BI and the other for my Dahua cams. I access them remotely via Open VPN server on my router and client on my Android. All has worked fine. I upgraded...

    2nd opinion about an OpenVPN configuration

    I wanted to hear your thoughts on this OpenVPN configuration for a TP-Link router... Does it look correct (I'm just not sure about the port forwarding step), or is there something you would change? How to Configure a TP-Link Omada Gateway as an OpenVPN Server in Standalone Mode

    OpenVPN Asus RT-AX86U does not work

    I am ready to pick apart the NVR configuration or try WireGuard VPN? I have changed some of the NVR ports and I still cannot connect with OpenVPN.

    OpenVPN Asus RT-AX86U does not work

    Thanks again for everyone's help. Alrighty, I think we can agree the iPhone is connecting to my Asus Router using OpenVPN. Look at the circle with the key and the same circle with the blue dot. When I hover over the key circle I get a question mark and a box with Connected pops up. If I...

    OpenVPN Asus RT-AX86U does not work

    Don't worry too much about the preferred and alternate DNS settings, they aren't particularly relevant to this VPN problem. If in doubt, use Quad9 (9.9.9.9), Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) and /or Google (8.8.8.8), your choice of preference order. If you say that you can definitely access the web...

    OpenVPN Asus RT-AX86U does not work

    ...the OpenVPN app on my iPhone to connect, so I reset the Asus Router. I configured the wireless and a few things but left all the other settings factory, made a new OpenVPN configuration file and I connected. It does the same thing, times out when off my local network and connected with OpenVPN.

That should tell all of us that my different IP was not...

    DMSS question

    So that is a really great solution! But with the local connection/IP added NVR, is there a way to view the alarm list? It's frustrating that they hold back some features in the app for those who get an account with them. I can delete the cameras and add them in the order I want them to be...

    Which Router to buy in 2023? UPDATE went with OPNsense on a firewall box.

    I've been using pfSense CE for about a year and a half now. I'll never go back to any consumer router as long as I have control over it. Going from a subpar consumer router like Asus, Netgear, Amazon etc. to pfSense is like going from a Ring door bell to Andy's Color 4K cameras. I like the...

    Hello Mike, thanks for your advice. I just want to make sure I understand and so can I make clear what I hope to do with the new setup. My existing (pre OpenVPN) setup comprised an iMac, 2 iPhones, an iPad and a Synology NAS for backup and Surveillance Station to record video files from a...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    I agree with Mike A. You need to take a step back and start over. Remove any rules on the WAN that you created (port forwarding or otherwise). You really just want a "default" setup from OPNsense. This will stop any outside sources from accessing your BI server (along with anything else on...

    Dahua NVR and DMSS help needed

    Do any of you actually use Dahua P2P for external access to your cams?

    To clarify and explain my network configuration, I received an optical ZTE ONT F680 router with a public static IP address from the provider, and behind it for my local network I use my TP-Link Archer AX73, on which I enabled OpenVPN Server. I didn't forward the port on the Archer AX73, but I...

    Also disable upnp on the router and ensure there are no ports that have been forwarded.

    Do any of you actually use Dahua P2P for external access to your cams?

    I have set it to go via OpenVPN to be able to view and access externally (outside my local network), and I no longer use P2P: 1. I turned off the P2P service on my NVR. 2. On my TP-Link Archer AX73 router, I enabled OpenVPN Server and then generated and exported a configuration file that I...
